Time 50m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 small Yukon gold potatoes
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon prosciutto bits
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mascarpone or creme fraiche
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons chopped chives
4 ounces prosciutto (Have the butcher grind it or chop it finely yourself. If finely chopping yourself, partially freeze it first.)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes. Spread a 1/4-inch bed of salt in a baking dish and top with the potatoes. Prick the top of the potatoes. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked throughout.
  • Meanwhile, make the prosciutto bits.
  • Place a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Place prosciutto in heated pan. Drizzle bits with olive oil, and cook, stirring. The prosciutto will give off steam for about 5 minutes while it releases its moisture. When the hiss of steam turns to a sizzle, turn the heat down to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prosciutto bits are crisp, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bits to several thicknesses of paper towel to drain. The bits will crisp even more as they cool. (Use immediately or freeze the bits for up to 6 months and warm in a skillet as needed.)
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven.
  • Cut an x in the top of each potato, and push in the sides to split open. Divide the prosciutto bits, mascarpone or creme fraiche, and chives among the potatoes and serve immediately.

I'm not a huge fan of mascarpone, but I thought these mini baked potatoes were still pretty good. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the prosciutto added a nice flavor.

I thought these mini baked potatoes were a bit too salty. I think I would have used less prosciutto next time.

Overall, I thought these mini baked potatoes were just okay. They were easy to make, but I wasn't impressed with the flavor.

I found the mascarpone and prosciutto to be a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce.

The mini baked potatoes were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter or oil.

These mini baked potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think they could have used more seasoning.
