Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds Little Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence Or Italian herb blend
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 4.3 ounce package Real Bacon Bits You won't need the whole package
  • 3-4 Green Onion Finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash and dry the little potatoes, then put them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle on dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix with a spoon, then put potatoes on two baking pans with a lot of extra room. Use more baking pans if necessary and bake in multiple batches.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender, cooked all the way through. You should be able to easily push a fork all the way through.
  • Remove them from the oven, then turn oven to 450°F.
  • Use a fork to gently smash the potatoes, leaving a little room in between each one. Smash until they're about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Brush on a little olive oil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown.
  • Take potatoes out of the oven and carefully turn them over. Brush on a little more olive oil and bake for another 10-15 minutes. The edges should start to turn brown with the edges slightly crispy.
  • Sprinkle on shredded cheese, drop a tiny spoonful of sour cream, then top with bacon pieces and green onions.
  • Serve warm.
