Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Small-medium size Yukon Gold potatoes* about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 green onions or chives, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or crème fraiche

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices, using a mandoline or knife, and spread the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with additional olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake potato slices for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden and tender.
  • Turn the broiler on. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly on the potato slices and broil for a minute or two, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

*small russet potatoes or red potatoes may be used instead of Yukon Gold

Storage Instructions

To store loaded potato bites, place untopped potato bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. If you have leftover potato bites, you can also freeze them. After baking, let them cool to room temperature, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Avoid microwaving the potato bites as they may become soggy.
