Bacon and Garlic Smash Potatoes

Bacon and Garlic Smash Potatoes

I made these little beauties as a side dish.  However, these little bacon and garlic smash potatoes would be a fabulous appetizer for a holiday party or Super Bowl Party!!!  And I am sure if you make them, whether as a side dish or a yummy appetizer, your family and guests will be begging for more!

Getting Ready!

I decided to cook the potatoes in my Instant Pot first!  And I am glad I did!  It was fast, easy and I was able to get to the “good part” in under 20 minutes!  So whether you decide to boil these little guys stove top or in the Instant Pot, they are scrumptious!
