Bacon Smashed Potatoes

These are O.M.G. GOOD! And the easiest smashed potatoes I have ever made. Our microwave is an over priced popcorn maker and hot water heater. I never would have thought to make baked potatoes in it. Amazing! You can have a delicious side for your meal within 10 minutes. I did leave out the green onions, I'm sure I was pushing it with adding the French fried onions. Faces were made at the table but opinions changed once they tasted this masterpiece.
