Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Bleu Cheese
Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Bleu Cheese are absolutely, unequivocally one of the easiest and most impressive side dishes I make. It may be a bit of an ugly duckling, looks-wise, but there’s something magical in the power of the sweet potato to be transformed into a gorgeous, savoury side dish in the presence of creamy bleu cheese and smoky bacon.
We start with young, small sweet potatoes (save the gargantuan sweet potatoes the size of small watermelons for Melting Sweet Potatoes, please!) so the skins are tender and we can leave them put. The sweet potato itself is cooked twice; don’t let that put you off. The first cook is just to steam them to tender. This can be done in a steam basket or in the microwave.

Ingredients
- 1 pound small or baby sweet potatoes steamed to tender
- 12 strips bacon cooked crisp
- 1/4 cup bacon fat
- 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat on a sheet pan. Add the tender sweet potatoes and toss to coat lightly. Use a knife to score the skin then use a potato masher or the bottom of a measuring cup to smash the sweet potatoes so that some of the inside protrude from the skins and they are relatively flat, but still hold together.
