MINI TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (If using a countertop induction oven, preheat on the "Combo 3" setting).
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into small pieces.
• Toss potatoes with vegetable oil to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes in the conventional oven and 20 minutes in the countertop induction oven. Cool potatoes until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
• Slice off the top 1/4 of each potato lengthwise. Scoop flesh into a bowl using a melon baller or small spoon, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh on the skin.
• Mash melted butter and mascarpone cheese into the potato flesh in the bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stir in bacon, green onions, and Cheddar cheese. Fill potato skins with potato mixture; return to the baking sheet.
• Bake filled potatoes in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler; broil potatoes until cheese is bubbly and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Season shrimp with Creole seasoning; transfer to a grill pan.
• Grill shrimp over high heat until opaque, about 3 minutes. (If using a countertop induction oven, cook shrimp on the "Grill setting" until opaque, about 3 minutes.) Top each potato with 1 shrimp.

CRISPY ROASTED MINI POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 365 F
• Toss all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl until potatoes are fully coated. Transfer the potatoes to an 8-10'' baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and toss the potatoes with a wooden spoon. Uncover the potatoes and increase the heat to 450 F. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and easy to poke with a fork (keep an eye on them since potato sizes can vary!) Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

MINI TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bake until a knife inserted into the potatoes goes in with little to no resistance, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place half of the bacon into a bowl. Add the panko, 2 tablespoons chives and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Mix to combine and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine the sour cream, butter, heavy cream, the remaining bacon, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chives and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, cut off the top third of each potato. Remove the skin from the tops. Using a 1 teaspoon measure or a melon baller, scoop out some of the insides of the cooked potatoes, leaving 1/4-inch borders around the edges. This creates little boats. Place the scooped insides and the peeled tops of the potatoes in a medium bowl and mash using a potato masher or the back of a fork. Add the reserved bacon and sour cream mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix together the filling until well combine. Spoon the filling back into the potato boats until slightly overfilled and mounded on top. Top with a sprinkling of the panko mixture and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until the filling is heated through and the topping is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LOADED MINI BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on top. Bake until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat and let cool. Crumble cooled bacon.
• Discard the parchment and pour off the remaining excess bacon drippings from the baking sheet, leaving only a thin coating of fat on the baking sheet. Reserve the poured-off drippings. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the fingerling potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the potatoes cut-side-down on the baking sheet in a crowded single layer. Bake until the potatoes just start to brown, 15 minutes, then flip and continue to bake until cooked through, golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes more.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and place the baking sheet on a heat-safe surface. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to push the potatoes together so that they are all touching but remain in a single layer. Sprinkle the potatoes with the cheese and bacon, return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter with a large spatula. Top with dollops of sour cream and the scallions. Finish by squeezing the lemon over the top. Serve hot.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss until potatoes are covered and garlic is evenly distributed. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, shaking every 5 minutes to prevent burning, until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

MINI JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub with the oil, then toss with sea salt. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hr. Let the potatoes cool for 10-15 mins, then cut a small cross in the top of each and pinch the bases to open a little. Add a teaspoon of soured cream to each, a little freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkling of chives. Serve straightway.

MINI BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Have potatoes cooked and ready to go- they should be warm, but cool enough to handle.
• Slice potatoes in half crosswise.
• Using a melon baller, scoop out a small portion of cooked potato flesh from each potato half.
• Season to taste with some salt and pepper.
• Fill each hole with a dollop of sour cream.
• Sprinkle with chopped olives, chives, and bacon.
• If you want extra decadence, drizzle a little melted butter into the hollows before adding sour cream.

MINI BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip potatoes into a large roasting tin. Add the olive oil, bay leaves, garlic and thyme, stir and season well. Put potatoes in the oven and roast for 30 mins (the final 30 minutes of the beef if you are cooking as part of a roast - see 'Goes well with' recipe, right).
• While meat rests, turn up the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Shake the roasting tin and continue to cook the potatoes for 30 mins more until golden and crisp.

MINI TWICE-BAKED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Wash potatoes thoroughly and poke holes in each with a fork. Place into a large bowl.
• Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure each potato is evenly coated.
• Place on a baking sheet covered with foil.
• Bake at 425˚F (220˚C) for 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender enough that a fork can go through the center flesh easily. Let cool for 10 minutes or until potatoes can be handled comfortably.
• Cut off tips of both ends of each potato. Using a melon baller or metal teaspoon, carve out the center each potato.
• Set the tips and carvings aside in a large bowl to use as the filling. (You may want to dice up the tips first so that they will mash easier).
• Melt butter and mix into the large bowl with the potato filling. Mash the potatoes with a fork until consistency is smooth.
• Mix in sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onion, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined.
• Using a small spoon, stuff each of the hollowed out potatoes with the filling.
• Bake at reduced temperature 375˚F(190˚C) for 5-7 minutes.
• Top each potato with cheddar cheese and bacon.
• Return to oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
