- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup bacon bits

Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain off water.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder and salt. Add in the potatoes and toss until all are coated with the oil.
- Melt the butter on the griddle and spread it out.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Using your griddle spatula or burger press, smash the potatoes.

- Remove from the griddle and serve immediately.
