Loaded Smashed Potatoes

1: Place the bacon on a lined baking sheet and season with bbq rub. Bake at 400°F until nice and crispy (about 15-20 min).

2: While the bacon is in the oven, boil the potatoes until they are fork tender then strain.

3: Once the bacon is done, remove it from the oven and place on a plate with paper towels to cool. Once cool, chop into bits.

4: Place the potatoes on the same pan then smash them down. Brush with the bacon grease then season with salt, pepper & garlic powder. Bake at 400°F until golden brown and crispy (about 25-35 min).

5: Once the potatoes are about done, take them out and add the cheese and bacon bits on top. Place back in the oven for 5-10 min to finish.

6: Plate them up, top with sour cream, green onions & ENJOY!
