MINI TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds medium Yukon gold potatoes (12 to 14 potatoes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces bacon, chopped fine
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bake until a knife inserted into the potatoes goes in with little to no resistance, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
  • In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place half of the bacon into a bowl. Add the panko, 2 tablespoons chives and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the sour cream, butter, heavy cream, the remaining bacon, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chives and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, cut off the top third of each potato. Remove the skin from the tops. Using a 1 teaspoon measure or a melon baller, scoop out some of the insides of the cooked potatoes, leaving 1/4-inch borders around the edges. This creates little boats. Place the scooped insides and the peeled tops of the potatoes in a medium bowl and mash using a potato masher or the back of a fork. Add the reserved bacon and sour cream mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix together the filling until well combine. Spoon the filling back into the potato boats until slightly overfilled and mounded on top. Top with a sprinkling of the panko mixture and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until the filling is heated through and the topping is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LOADED MINI BAKED POTATOES



Loaded Mini Baked Potatoes image

This hot potato salad has all the cheesy, fluffy richness of a loaded baked potato, which makes it a perfect side for grilled chicken or a big, juicy steak. Cook the bacon in the oven, then crisp the fingerlings on the same pan in the leftover rendered bacon fat. A squeeze of lemon to finish counters the richness of the potatoes, bacon and cheese.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds small yellow, red or purple fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on top. Bake until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat and let cool. Crumble cooled bacon.
  • Discard the parchment and pour off the remaining excess bacon drippings from the baking sheet, leaving only a thin coating of fat on the baking sheet. Reserve the poured-off drippings. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • Toss the fingerling potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the potatoes cut-side-down on the baking sheet in a crowded single layer. Bake until the potatoes just start to brown, 15 minutes, then flip and continue to bake until cooked through, golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes more.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and place the baking sheet on a heat-safe surface. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to push the potatoes together so that they are all touching but remain in a single layer. Sprinkle the potatoes with the cheese and bacon, return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a platter with a large spatula. Top with dollops of sour cream and the scallions. Finish by squeezing the lemon over the top. Serve hot.

MINI BAKED POTATOES



Mini Baked Potatoes image

These little appetizers are great for a small dinner party - they are cute and very easy to make. You can double the recipe with no problem - simply boil up extra potatoes and have extra toppings on hand. If you want the sour cream to look especially fancy, try using an icing decorator tube or simply put the sour cream into a ziploc baggie and cut a tiny hole in one corner. For a real splurge, omit olive and sprinkle with caviar instead. Prep time includes time to boil the potatoes.

MINI - ME - BAKED POTATOES



Mini - Me - Baked Potatoes image

The leaves were falling and starting to curl and place themselves gently in the rain spouts. An abundance of complex problems had gotten the best of us today on this Saturday. Corn cribs endings needed to be put back up, as the new corn was harvested. Chain saws didn't turn on as we had hoped, and the door handle of the truck fell off in the inside of the truck. Not what you hoped to accomplish today, this Saturday, but still a day full of necessary problems. It was cool enough to start a fire, and as we ended the day, I had thought ahead to put some of these cute little (as buttons) potatoes on "time bake" so we came clomping in, tired and laughing from the day's stories. I had easily prepared these little beautites to go into the oven and mixed up the easy dressing the night before. We gathered for some good cheer, some laughs, beer, and a couple of potatoes in the gullet to replenish and statisfy as we sat around the wood stove, warm our bodies, feasted, and warmed our souls with good food.

3 tbsp olive oil
2-3 bay leaves
1 garlic bulb, cloves separated and smashed

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use small, firm potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: Before baking, scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping into the potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the steam to escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting. It’s a good idea to use a fork to prick the potatoes several times before baking.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and a fluffy interior. Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart when you cut them open. Let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes before slicing them open and serving.

Conclusion:

Mini Me Baked Potatoes are a fun and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal, a party, or a potluck.
