Description
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with all the flavors of a loaded baked potato—these hasselback bites are the ultimate party appetizer. Each little potato is sliced, roasted to golden perfection, and finished with gooey cheese, crispy bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. Bite-sized comfort food that’s impossible to resist.
Ingredients
1½ lbs small baby potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each potato between two chopsticks and slice thin slits across the top without cutting all the way through.
Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet cut side up.
Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender, brushing occasionally with pan juices.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar into the slits and bake 5 more minutes until melted.
Top with bacon crumbles, a small dollop of sour cream, and fresh chives.
Serve hot and watch them disappear.
