Step 1

Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by about an inch. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well.

Step 2

Preheat the oven broiler.

Step 3

Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Carefully place the drained, hot potatoes on the baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart. Using a potato masher (or the bottom of a small, heavy pot or something similar), smash the potatoes until flattened to about 1/2-inch or so (it's really up to you how much to smash them).

Step 4

Melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Drizzle over the potatoes.

Step 5

Sprinkle with cheese and bacon. Broil for a couple minutes until the cheese is sizzling.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the green onions or chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed (I give a light sprinkle of both). Serve immediately.
