Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for about 12-15 minutes, until fork-tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Using a small sharp knife or melon baller, carefully scoop out the center of each potato, creating a small cavity. Reserve the scooped-out potato flesh in a bowl.
Mash the reserved potato flesh with a fork and combine it with the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and combined.
Spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed-out potatoes, mounding it slightly over the top.
Place the stuffed potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the stuffed potatoes with chopped chives for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, cheesy, bacon-filled bites!
