Crash Boom BANG Loaded Potatoes!
This post may contain affiliate links, read our disclosure policy.
I discovered the Pioneer Woman’s Crash Hot Potatoes a couple years ago and have been saying I’m going to make them ever since then. So, this weekend when we had a Halloween Birthday Party for my baby with thirty of our closest friends, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Except… I kind of felt like they needed more oompf.
Enter: butter, cheese and bacon.

Crash Boom Bang! LOADED Potatoes
Ingredients
- Small round potatoes I used the red kind
- Butter
- Bacon cooked & crumbled
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes for about 45 minutes, until fork tender. (You can do this ahead of time. I did it a couple days before the party and then kept the potatoes in a large tupperware in the fridge.)
- Allow potatoes to cool in the water (so they won't dry out).
- Spread the potatoes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (or greased), with room inbetween for them to spread when you smash. I suggest using a cookie sheet with sides (or the bottom of your broiling pan) so the cheesy goodness doesn't ooze onto the bottom of your oven.
- Smash each potato (a potato masher works best, but you could also use a tenderizer, glass, or even your fist).
- Top each potato with a small pat of butter, a sprinkling of crumbled bacon and a smattering of shredded cheese.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Indulge!
