I do potatoes this way, but instead of adding the butter, I will smash them, fry them and place them on a cast iron griddle pan. When all are fried, I will add cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, salt and pepper and put under broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese. I will add a dollop of sour cream to the top and a bit of parsley for color.

Sounds like a fried baked potato. Interesting.

I hate to hijack his thread, but boil potatoes until done. Allow to dry, then smash them with the bottom of a glass or a rolling pin. Put some olive oil and butter in a heavy pan (I use cast iron) and fry until nice and crispy, turn. While the bottom is browning, add cheese, bacon, etc.
