Make This Recipe
Ingredients
1.25 lbs baby potatoes (about 30)
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp Kosher salt (if using regular iodized salt, use 1/2 teaspoon), plus extra for salting potato water
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
8 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped coarsely
6 Eggland's Best Large eggs
3 tablespoons of chives, chopped
6 tbsp Sour cream
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F) and adjust oven rack to medium position. Place potatoes in a 4 quart pot and add water until the pot is 3/4 of the way full. Add 1 heaping tbsp of Kosher salt and bring water to a boil.
- In a small bowl, prepare seasoning blend by combining 1 tsp Kosher salt, onion and garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sugar. Set aside.
- Add 1-2 inches of water into a medium pot and place steamer basket inside pot. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add eggs to steamer basket and cover. Cook eggs for 12 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl full of ice water. Once eggs are cool enough to handle, peel then chop coarsely.
- Boil potatoes until a paring knife slips into potatoes easily. Drain potatoes into a colander and rinse with cool water. Shake colander, then pat potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel. Prepare a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Place a few potatoes on the sheet pan and gently smash each one with the ball of your hand or a water glass to 1/3-1/2 inch thickness. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Evenly space potatoes on the sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, then using hands, massage oil into potatoes so they are evenly coated. Rub seasoning blend into your potatoes. Place potatoes into oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven then sprinkle bacon, then cheese on top of potatoes. Place potatoes back into oven until cheese is melted and golden, about 10 more minutes.
- Once potatoes are done cooking, cool slightly (so sour cream won't melt), then top with sour cream, chopped egg, and chives.
