I had no idea how this was going to turn out, because I combined 2 recipes to make it. It turned out great and it is very easy to make. I like that you can make it ahead of time and bake it when needed.
Smashed Potatoes:
5 Whole Large Red Potatoes
1 Stick Butter, Softened & Cut Into Pieces
1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese, Grated
3/4 Cup Sour Cream
***It looked a little dry, so I added a little more to make it a little more creamier.
5 Slices Bacon, Cooked & Crumbled
***I Put The Cooked Bacon On A Paper Towel Plate To Drain; Next Time I Will Use The Whole Pkg. Of Bacon
2 Whole Green Onions, Sliced, Plus More For Topping
Garlic, Minced In Food Processor, To Taste
1-2/3 Cup French-Fried Onions
1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese, Grated Or Shredded
Fry the bacon until crisp or done to your liking; drain.
I chopped the bacon using the food processor or you can put the bacon in a plastic food bag, seal it and smash the bacon using a meat tenderizer.
I microwaved the potatoes in the microwave until tender. You can also bake them in the oven until fork tender.
I put the potatoes in a large bowl and added the softened butter, bacon, green onions, 1/3 cup French-Fried Onions and garlic; stirred it with a rubber spatula; added some salt and ground black pepper.
I greased a baking dish and put the potato mixture in it. I topped it with more sliced green onions and 1 cup French-Fried Onions.
I baked it at 350 degrees until it was completely hot, a little over a half hour.
