7 small potatoes
1/2 lb ground beef, fried
salt
pepper
taco seasoning
cumin
2 T butter, melted
1 large Roma tomato, diced small
1 green onion, diced fine
1/2 fresh jalapeno, diced fine
1 1/4 C grated cheddar cheese

Boil potatoes until fork tender. Do not allow to get mushy. Drain and place potatoes on a baking sheet or in a cast iron fry pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. While the potatoes are still hot smash them with a potato masher. (see photo below) Drizzle potatoes with melted butter and lightly season with salt, pepper, taco seasoning and cumin. ** you can let them sit at this point till you are ready to bake and assemble** Place oven rack in middle of oven and turn oven to broil. Broil seasoned potatoes until they get a nice crust on them but are not dark. Remove from oven. Top with fried and seasoned (use any of the seasonings suggested in the ingredients to your liking) ground beef, tomatoes, onions and jalapenos. Top with cheese. Once again place under the broiler until the cheese is nicely melted and bubbly. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
