2 tablespoons chopped chives
What you do:
Into a large pot, place potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then parboil for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Drain potatoes and dry well. Lightly grease baking sheet with oil, place potatoes on sheet, and gently smash each with a potato smasher. Only press down about halfway.
Brush tops of potatoes with melted vegan butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in oven on lower rack and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top each potato with garlic and vegan parmesan.
Place back into oven on top rack, and bake for 10 minutes more. Place a dollop of vegan sour cream on each and put back into oven to slightly warm. Remove from oven and top each potato with vegan bacon and chives. Serve immediately, with extra toppings on side if desired.
