Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ pounds baby red potatoes ((about 14 to 17 potatoes, rinsed and drained well))
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream (divided)
2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
¼ plus cup plus two tablespoons HORMEL® Real Bacon Bits (divided)
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender through to the center when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  • Slice the tops off the potatoes and use the tip of a sharp knife to outline the area you will scoop out, leaving a small rim on the inside of the skin so the potato skins will hold their shape. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out and transfer the potato to a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup sour cream, cream cheese, ¼ cup Hormel Real Bacon Bits, seasoned salt, and pepper. Use an electric mixer to combine until creamy.
  • Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, mounding slightly. Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until potatoes are warmed through and cheese has melted.
  • Garnish each potato bite with a small dollop of remaining sour cream, a sprinkling of bacon bits, and chives.
