To prepare these twice baked potato bites, start by baking baby potatoes until they are tender. Next, scoop out the insides and mix them with cream cheese, sour cream, shredded Cheddar, bacon bits and seasonings. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, filling them generously. Top with more Cheddar and bake for another 5 minutes. Finally, garnish each bite with a tiny dollop of sour cream and sprinkle a pinch of bacon bits and minced fresh chives on top. Serve immediately!
To make the Fully Loaded Twice Baked Potato Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat your oven to / 190 °C.
Place 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with ¼ teaspoon salt.
Bake the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
Carefully slice the tops off the potatoes. Use the tip of a sharp knife to outline the area you will scoop out, ensuring you leave a small edge on the inside of the skin to help the potato skins hold their shape. Using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add in ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 2 ounces softened cream cheese, ¼ cup bacon bits, ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Using an electric mixer, mix until creamy.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, filling them generously. Return the potatoes to the baking sheet and top each potato with the remaining shredded Cheddar cheese.
Bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the potatoes are warmed through and the cheese has melted.
Garnish each potato with a tiny dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of bacon bits and minced fresh chives. Serve and enjoy!
