(from RV Brat Recipes’s recipe box)

These crisp, tender taters are made even better with the addition of crunchy & smoky bacon! Smashing the Potatoes makes for super crispy edges that totally grip the Bacon and won’t let go!
You can take these Poppers in any flavor direction you want to go! Jazz them up with some glaze (BBQ, Hot Sauce, etc..) on the bacon, or serve them with an assortment of sauces and melty cheeses for dipping!
