Directions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, then drain.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel and reserve the fat.
- Grate the cheddar and wipe down the produce; slice the mushrooms.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and cook the mushrooms seasoned with salt and pepper until tender, about 3–4 minutes.
- Crumble the bacon and set aside with the mushrooms; leave a small amount of bacon fat in the pan.
- Drain the potatoes and mash gently on the baking sheet, flattening to about 1 inch thick; drizzle with reserved bacon fat and season with salt and pepper.
- Top the potatoes with cheese, mushrooms, and crumbled bacon, then bake until the cheese melts, 2–3 minutes.
- Trim and slice the green onions, dice the tomato, and prepare the yogurt for topping; plate the smashed potatoes and finish with the fresh toppings.
Two tips
- Make ahead: cook the bacon and mushrooms earlier in the day and reheat briefly when ready to bake.
- Serving idea: swap the yogurt for a dollop of sour cream or use chopped herbs if you have them.
