Crispy Smashed Potato Bites with Sour Cream and Bacon

24 Baby Yukon Gold or Red or Fingerling Potatoes
As Needed Vegetable Oil for Frying

Place the unpeeled potatoes in a pot and add enough cold water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil and cook at a gentle boil until just tender. Check doneness with a paring knife. It should insert easily and remove easily. Gently drain and allow to cool to room temperature.

When cool, flatten with a water glass until about 1/3-inch thick. Heat oil in a deep fryer until 350 degrees. When ready to serve, place no more than 6 in the oil at a time and fry until a deep golden. Drain, season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

Lay on a serving platter and garnish each with a small dallop of sour cream, bacon, and parsley.
