Instructions

Step 1

In a medium sauce pot, add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them dry in the colander for 5 minutes or so.

Step 4

Place potatoes on a baking tray and let dry again for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or a fork, smash the potatoes to squish them, while keeping them in one piece. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until deep golden and crispy. Don’t flip the potatoes.

Step 7

Top each smashed potato with one Velveeta® cube, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the Velveeta® has melted.

Step 8

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream and hot sauce.

Step 9

Remove potatoes from the oven and top with the sour cream mixture, chopped bacon and scallions. Serve immediately.
