Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream are what potato dreams are made of! Crispy on the outside, soft inside and served with a dollop of garlic cheddar sour cream dip on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes (about 6-8 potatoes**)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh parsley for serving
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the potatoes. Cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain potatoes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Add the potatoes onto the baking sheet and, using the back of a glass, smash the potatoes down until they’re about ¼” thick. Brush the potatoes with the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they’re crispy and golden.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes are baking in the oven, add all of the dip ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together.

  5. 5

    To serve, add a dollop of the dip overtop each smashed potato and top with fresh parsley or additional chopped chives. Enjoy!
