Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 min. depending on size. Drain and cool slightly.
- Place the hot potatoes between a clean tea towel folded over and press down to smash lightly.
- Place the potatoes in an 8x8" pan in a checkerboard pattern using half of the potatoes. Spread 1/2 cup of the light sour cream on top of the potatoes. Top with 1/2 of the bacon and 1/2 of the green onion. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of light cheese. Repeat layers.
