Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

   Cook the Bacon

   While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces and fry them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

   Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper.
