Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Loaded Baked Potato Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting your potatoes.
  2. Wash and dry the small red or yellow potatoes thoroughly. Coat them evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
  3. Place the prepared potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
  4. Once cooled, slice off the tops of the potatoes and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  5. In the bowl with the scooped potato, add melted butter and sour cream, mixing until smooth.
  6. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and minced chives, seasoning with kosher salt and pepper.
  7. Fill each potato shell with the creamy mixture, packing it down slightly.
  8. Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
