I came across this recipe on Pinterest about a year ago and ever since, it has been my favorite. Not only are potatoes are a key ingredient in many meals, but as most of you probably know, potatoes are the most common food source in Ukraine, where I’m originally from.
I like to make these when I am hosting a dinner. I would precook the potatoes in boiled water and right before guest arrive, pop them in the oven and have our selves a fresh dinner. It’s also a great meal to make during the work days. Boil enough potatoes to last several days; when you are ready to serve, just bake them.
My favorite – potatoes with homemade pickles.

I did them once and it was gone really fast!!! My son loves bacon so he ate everything on his plate and left potatoe with bacon to enjoy it last!!!:) but how do u keep it together cause when I smashed it, it didn't hold together!!! But thank you for wonderful recepie! God bless!
Me and your son could be friends, have bacon parties. π I guess I dont smash them, lol.. More of gently pressing them, some of them still fall apart. Overcooking potatoes could effect it too.
My husband has been talking about making smashed baby potatoes for the past month. he was on to something! π I love that you put bacon on these. Everything is better with bacon π Pinning this one for sure!
Thank you Natasha. Your husband has some great ideas. I agree that bacon makes everything way better. I try not to buy it, otherwise my body will have way too much bacon lol π
