Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Rinse and gently scrub the potatoes under cold water.
Preheat oven to 500° F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray.
Fill a medium pot with water. Add potatoes and two tablespoons Kosher salt.
Boil for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
In a small microwavable bowl, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
Drain the potatoes and pat dry if needed so that the olive oil will adhere to the skin.
Pour the 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and add potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet
With a heavy bottomed glass, flatten each potato so that they are about 1/2-inch thick or so. You can also use a potato masher.
Using a pastry brush, brush each potato with the butter mixture.
Bake for 5 - 7 minutes.
Using 1 tablespoon of the chopped green onion, sprinkle each potato. Evenly distribute half of the bacon among the potatoes.
Place an equal amount of grated cheese on each potato.
Sprinkle the remaining green onions and bacon on top.
Bake for 5 - 7 minutes.
