Bacon and cheese smashed potatoes

Preheat oven to broil.

Boil potatoes in a 6qt pan of salted water for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Drain. Put the potatoes on a greased cookie sheet and use a potato masher (or coffee mug) to lightly flatten the potatoes. Spray potatoes lightly with olive oil and season with S&P, garlic and onion powders.

Broil for about 15 minutes. Crispy and golden. I used second rack in oven, not top.

While potatoes are boiling or broiling, fry the bacon and drain on paper towels. Crush up for topping.

Pull potatoes out of oven; top with cheese and bacon. Return them to the oven to melt the cheese, just about a minute. Remove from oven and season with a little S&P and chives. Serve with the avocado creme. Delicious!
