Loaded Smashed Potatoes

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water about 20 minutes, or until fork tender.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one. Tip: To avoid the little buggers from escaping from under the masher, cut an x in the center of the potato about halfway through.

4. 4

   Place a slice of butter on each potato and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle with cheese and put back in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Add bacon, sour cream and chives. Serve.
