MAKEOVER STUFFED POTATO APPETIZERS

Steps:

Drain., When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells. Remove 1/3 cup pulp (discard or save for another use)., In a large bowl, mash the remaining pulp with cream cheese. Add sour cream and half of the bacon. Stir in the cheeses, green onions, salt and pepper; spoon into potato shells., Place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining bacon. Bake, uncovered, at 400° until heated through, 15-20 minutes.

CRISPY BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until just fork tender, about 10 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the potatoes.
• Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the hot oil. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until potatoes are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss until potatoes are covered and garlic is evenly distributed. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, shaking every 5 minutes to prevent burning, until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

BALSAMIC GRILLED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place a 24-inch long piece of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Spread potatoes onto the middle of the foil. Drizzle vinegar and olive oil over the potatoes; season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dot the top of the potatoes with small chunks of butter.
• Bring opposing sides of the foil up and around the potatoes. Fold the two edges together at the top to create a seam on the top of the packet. Fold the remaining two edges to seal the packet.
• Cook potatoes in the packet on the preheated grill with the seam-side facing up for about 10 minutes, turn and cook another 10 minutes. Turn the packet once again and continue cooking until a fork stuck through the foil and into the potatoes meet no resistance from the contents, about 5 minutes more.

LATKES WITH LOX

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Stir in eggs until blended. Add potatoes; toss to coat., Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lox; top with sour cream and chives if desired.

"TWICE BAKED" BABY POTATOES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a pot, cover potatoes with about 2 inches of cool water; bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still holding their shape, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, trim and discard 1/4 inch from top of each potato. (If necessary, trim bottoms flat so potatoes stand upright.)
• Using a small paring knife, the smaller side of a melon baller, or a demitasse spoon, carefully scoop flesh from potatoes, leaving 1/4 inch flesh intact all around bottom and sides. Transfer hollowed potatoes to parchment-lined baking sheets.
• For the smoothest texture, press potato flesh through a ricer into a bowl. Stir in cream cheese, butter, milk, and chives to thoroughly combine (or, if not using a ricer, mash to combine until smooth); season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain tip, or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped. Pipe mixture into hollowed potatoes and bake until they are heated through and browned in places on top, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool a few minutes; dollop with sour cream and top with caviar, trout roe, or more chives. Serve warm.

BABY LOX POTATOES APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes clean, leaving the skin intact. Slice the potatoes in half horizontally. Use a vegetable corer or melon baller to scoop out a teaspoon-sized hole in the center of the cut side of each potato half. Place halved potatoes into a large bowl and discard the cored pieces. Toss the potato halves with 1 ½ tbsp olive oil till evenly coated. Brush the baking sheet with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Put the potatoes onto the baking sheet, cut side down, skin side up. Roast the potatoes for about 30 minutes till tender. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature. Meanwhile put Greek yogurt, cream cheese, lox, and dill into the food processor. Process ingredients until they are blended together. When potatoes are cool, use a small spoon to fill the hollowed out potato halves with the lox mixture. Garnish each potato half with 2-3 capers. Serve. Make Ahead: I'm not a huge fan of refrigerating potatoes (they can sometimes turn mealy), so if you want to make this ahead I recommend making the spread in advance and spreading it on crackers or bagel chips. Still delish, and your prep time will be cut down considerably. Enjoy!
