Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 strips thick bacon
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
  • Fresh chives

Instruction

  • Cook bacon until crispy, either in a skillet or baked in the oven. Once the bacon is crispy, let cool and chop into bits for topping. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut off the ends of the sweet potatoes, then cut them into quarters. Pour olive oil on a baking sheet and rub potatoes on both sides to coat. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Bake potato pieces for 25-30 minutes until they are fork tender. Then let cool briefly until you can handle them.
  • Use a small plate to smash each potato down a bit. Return smashed potatoes to baking sheet. Bake smashed potatoes a second time for 10 minutes to crisp them up a bit.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, and fresh chives.
