VIDEO: Smashed "Jackson Pollock" Potatoes

Let your artistic side out with these easy Pollock-inspired smashed potatoes!

Boil the desired amount of small potatoes until tender.
Spread on a lined baking tray, flatten slightly using a cup or jar. Don't over-flatten them!
Sprinkle liberally with shredded cheese and Parmesan.
Top with bacon slices approximately the same size as the potatoes.
Drizzle liberally with balsamic vinegar.
Place in oven, under the grill for 15 min at 375°F until the cheese is melted and the bacon is crispy.
Enjoy!
