Instructions

🍟 Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Wash and dry the baby potatoes.
    • Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Bake the Potatoes:

    • Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until fork-tender.
    • Allow to cool slightly before handling.

🥄 Make the Filling:

  1. Scoop Out the Centers:

    • Cut each potato in half.
    • Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the centers, leaving a thin shell.
    • Place the potato insides in a bowl.

  2. Mix the Filling:

Notes

  • Make It Creamier: Add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the filling for an extra rich texture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Assemble ahead, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
