Blt Smashed Potatoes image

I was wandering through the Food Network website and found this recipe in a Rachael Ray episode. It sounded really good and I thought I could tweek it a bit to make it a bit more diet friendly. BLT stands for bacon, leeks and tomatoes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The BLT toppings were delicious and added a nice touch of richness.

These potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would use a lower temperature next time.

These potatoes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of Yukon Gold and red potatoes and they were both delicious. The BLT toppings were the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a huge fan of smashed potatoes, but these were actually really good. The BLT toppings were a great addition and added a lot of flavor.

Easy and delicious! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The BLT toppings were the perfect finishing touch.

These smashed potatoes were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and tangy tomatoes was irresistible. I'll definitely be making them again.
