Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • 2 Rimmed Baked Sheets
  • 2 Small Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces Bite Size Potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • ¼ cup Buffalo Sauce
  • ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika
  • 4 ounces Blue Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Chives Chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large-rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Put bite sized potatoes into a large pot and sprinkle with kosher salt. Fill the pot with water to two inches above the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to medium and boil for 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, mix together the buffalo sauce and the sour cream. Spread onto a serving tray.
  • In another small bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
  • When potatoes are done boiling, drain them. Pour them onto the greased baking sheet. Place another baking sheet on top of them and push down to smash the potatoes.
  • Bake potatoes for 20 minutes in the oven.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil mixture over top of the potatoes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the potatoes and mix with the olive oil.
  • Turn the oven to broil. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the potatoes become crispy.
  • Put the crispy smashed potatoes on top of the buffalo sour cream mixture. Top with crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives.
