Potato Base
- 1 pound petite golden potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- to taste flaky salt
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the petite golden potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with flaky salt and toss to coat all potatoes thoroughly.
- Bake Potatoes: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until they are fork-tender and cooked through.
- Cut and Hollow: Allow the baked potatoes to cool slightly before carefully cutting a shallow triangle-shaped wedge from the top of each potato to create space for the fillings.
- Stuff Potatoes: Generously fill each hollowed potato with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled cooked bacon.
- Melt Cheese: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and top each potato with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped green onions, and an extra pinch of flaky salt for added flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your loaded baked potato bites!

- Adjust the amount of bacon and cheese according to your preference.
- For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are well coated with olive oil before baking.
