These are our family-tested Yukon Gold smashed potatoes: boiled until very soft, smashed flat on a parchment-lined sheet pan, topped with cheddar and real bacon, then baked until hot and melty. We serve the toppings family-style.

Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2. Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on.
- 3. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a little kosher salt. Carefully add the potatoes and cook until very soft and easily pierced all the way through with a fork.
- 4. Drain the potatoes and let them cool just enough to handle.
- 5. Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Use the bottom of a cup, bowl, or another flat object to smash each potato down flat.
- 6. Top the smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cooked bacon.
- 7. Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is hot.
- 8. Serve with Erickson Homemade Chipotle Mayo, sour cream, chopped chives, or whatever toppings your family likes.
