Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Rinse and scrub the baby red potatoes thoroughly. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the walnut filling. In a food processor, combine the walnuts, cream cheese, garlic clove, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a small slice off the top of each potato and gently scoop out a portion of the center using a small spoon or melon baller, creating a hollow for the filling.
Fill each potato with a generous spoonful of the walnut mixture, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
Optional: For a decorative touch, sprinkle a pinch of chopped fresh parsley on top of the stuffed potatoes.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
