Fully Loaded Twice Baked Potato Bites Recipe image

Provided by sdonatell

Number Of Ingredients 10

1-1/2 pounds baby red potatoes about 14 to 17 potatoes, rinsed and drained well
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream divided
2 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 plus cup plus two tablespoons HORMEL® Real Bacon Bits divided
1/2 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 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, cream cheese, 1/4 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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potato types to create different textures and flavors. For example, Yukon Gold potatoes are creamy and smooth, while russet potatoes are more starchy and fluffy.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
  • Microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before baking to shorten the cooking time.
  • Use a melon baller to scoop out the potato flesh, making sure to leave a thin layer of potato around the edges.
  • Mix the potato flesh with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, bacon, ham, or vegetables.
  • Bake the potato bites until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the potato bites with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potato bites are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish that can be easily customized to your liking.
