24 mini potatoes (such as fingerling potatoes or baby Yukon Gold potatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Toppings:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
¼ cup chopped green onions or chives
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash the Potatoes: Rinse the mini potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Prick the Potatoes: Use a fork to prick each potato a few times to prevent them from bursting during baking.
Toss with Olive Oil: Place the mini potatoes in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Bake the Potatoes:
Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the mini potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are crispy.
Cool Slightly: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes so they’re easier to handle.
Top the Potatoes:
Cut and Scoop: Using a sharp knife, make a small cut at the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the sides to open them up.
Add Toppings:
Stuff each potato with a small spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, and chives or green onions.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve: Arrange the mini baked potatoes on a serving platter, and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately while warm!
