Cheesy Smashed Potatoes with Bacon, Mushrooms, Tomato & Green OnionCheesy Smashed Potatoes with Bacon, Mushrooms, Tomato & Green Onion — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

12 slices bacon

¾ (227 g) block cheddar cheese

1 small bunch green onions (scallions)

2.04 kg new potatoes

¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

3 tomatoes

0.68 kg white mushrooms

black pepper

salt

Instructions

Wash potatoes; transfer to a large pot, add salt, cover with hot water (from the tap), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese.

Wash and dry the remaining fresh produce.

Thinly slice the mushrooms.

When the bacon is done, remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer the bacon fat to a small bowl and set aside, leaving about 1 tbsp in the skillet.

Return skillet to medium heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 4-5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.

Crumble or chop bacon into small pieces.

When the potatoes are done, drain and divide between 2 large baking sheet pans. Using a fork or potato masher, gently crush each potato, flattening them to a 1-inch thickness. Drizzle with ¼ cup reserved bacon fat and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.

Sprinkle cheese, mushrooms, and bacon over the potatoes. Place in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim off and discard ends of green onions, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch pieces at an angle. Small dice tomatoes.

To serve, divide smashed potatoes between plates or bowls. Top with green onion, tomato, and yogurt. Enjoy!
