Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 Small Gold or yellow potatoes, cut in half diagonally
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1/4 Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1//4 Tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp. Kosher salt
  • 20 Grinds Fresh black pepper
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt to tast
  • 2 Green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 Strips of cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • Flaky Salt to taste (Maldon is a favorite)

Instructions
 

  • Place a large pot of cold water on the stove over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of kosher salt and the cut potatoes. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes can be pierced with a fork. About 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and put to the side.
  • Add the warm potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the onion and garlic powders, salt and 20 grinds of fresh black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Put the warm, seasoned potatoes, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, bottom of a glass or pot, smash the potato halves. Put in the oven and bake until the edges are real crispy. About 15 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the tops of the potatoes with the shredded cheese. Put back in the oven for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Remove from the oven and top with the sour cream or yogurt, sprinkle with the onions and bacon if using and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt. Dig in!
