Description

There’s not a lot that needs to said about loaded smashed potatoes with cheese, bacon, and sour cream. A delicious combination that doesn’t need to be “sold” to anyone. This recipe is creamy, cheesy, and OH so delicious. And like all my favorite recipes, you can easily tweak it to make it your own! Add your favorite baked potato toppings and it’ll be delicious.
