Mini Twice Baked Potatoes

Look, you may not want to share these, but in reality they do make the perfect sharing appetizer.  Whether it’s as a game day snack, a dinner party sharing starter OR just as an appetizer for a gathering, these mini loaded potatoes are perfect. Let‘s see quickly what you’ll need:

• Baby Potatoes – Try and get baby potatoes that are on the larger side of life, just so they’re easier to work with.
• Cream – Heavy Cream (US) Double Cream (UK).
• Cheese – I find a nice strong cheddar works great here, just to pack in some flavour!
• Bacon – Need I justify this?! Cooked to preference and diced nice and small.
• Butter – Salted or unsalted, just adjust the salt accordingly.
• Sour Cream & Chives – both to serve after the spuds are baked.

In my humble opinion you really can’t beat those 5 ingredients. However, if you wanted to switch things up you could consider subbing cream cheese, smoked paprika, jalapeños  or onion powder.

Can I use regular sized potatoes?

You sure can – I recommend checking out my Jalapeño Popper Loaded Potatoes in such case. You can leave out the jalapeño if you’d prefer, apart from that the ingredients are similar.

How to make Mini Twice Baked Potatoes

These beauties truly couldn’t be easier to make. Roast them, slice them, load them, stuff them, then grill them. Or something along those lines.

Can I prep these ahead of time?

Yep! Perfect to prep ahead (up until grilling/broiling) and store in the fridge or freezer. Just make sure they’re completely cool before storing or they’ll steam and go soggy.

Can these be made and reheated?

Yes – Same again though, just make sure they’re cool before storing.

Process shots: Place baby potatoes on an oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over a good pinch of salt and pepper (photo 1), roast in the oven until golden, crispy and fork tender (photo 2),  slice in half, scoop out most of the centre and mash with your loaded ingredients. Pop back in the skins and grill (photo 3).

It really is that easy!

When it comes to serving, a good sprinkling of fresh chives go down perfectly. From there you can either drizzle over sour cream or serve it as a side dip. Up to you!
