Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces baby red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Thoroughly wash the baby red potatoes and pat them dry. Cut each potato in half to create small, flat surfaces.
Place the halved potatoes into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Using a small spoon, gently scoop out a small amount from the center of each potato half to create a cavity for the toppings.
Fill each potato cavity with a small dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Garnish each potato with sliced green onions, chopped parsley, and a light dusting of smoked paprika, if desired.
Serve the mini loaded red potatoes warm and enjoy!
