Notes
Loaded smashed potatoes can be made in a saute pan on the stove instead of a Blackstone Griddle.
Do not use a dome lid when cooking smashed potatoes because the moisture will not allow the potatoes to become crispy.
Store leftover loaded smashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days.
