kosher salt
1/4 c. melted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper

Using the bottom of a small glass or jar, smash potatoes into flat patties.
Bake until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes more.
Top with cheddar and bake until melted, 3 minutes more.
Top with cooked bacon, green onions, and sour cream (if using) and serve.
