Ingredients

• 12 whole baby red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby red potatoes. Slice each potato in half, lengthwise.

Step 3

Place the potato halves in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out a small well in the center of each potato half, being cautious not to break through the skin.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 7

Spoon the filling mixture back into the hollows of the potato halves, mounding the filling slightly over the surface.

Step 8

Place the filled potato halves back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Little Red Potato Bites!
