Preparation
For this recipe, use baby potatoes. Make sure not to cut them too deep (or you’ll just end up with potato slices). Can be eaten with a cocktail fork or with fingers (if your treats are not too hot!), like small bites.
Mini bacon stuffed potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Slice each potato several times, without cutting all the way through, so that the potato remains whole.
- Insert the bacon and cheddar alternating between each slit.
- Place on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Seasoned sour cream:
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sour cream.
- Serve with baked potatoes.
