• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender through to the center when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
• Slice the tops off the potatoes and use the tip of a sharp knife to outline the area you will scoop out, leaving a small rim on the inside of the skin so the potato skins will hold their shape. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out and transfer the potato to a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup sour cream, cream cheese, ¼ cup Hormel Real Bacon Bits, seasoned salt, and pepper. Use an electric mixer to combine until creamy.
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, mounding slightly. Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until potatoes are warmed through and cheese has melted.
• Garnish each potato bite with a small dollop of remaining sour cream, a sprinkling of bacon bits, and chives.

STUFFED BABY RED POTATOES RECIPE - (1.8/5)

Steps:

• Place baby potatoes in an ovenproof pan, coat with oil and roast in the oven at 375 degrees for approximately 40 minutes or until tender when tested with the tip of a knife. Remove from oven and cool. Cut a thin slice off bottom of each allowing them to sit level. Cut and remove 1/3 off the top of each potato with a sharp knife being careful not to tear the skin. Scoop out and discard centers with a melon baller leaving at least 1/4 inch wall. (It's not as hard as it seems. If you want more potato and less filling, just scoop out a smaller amount of the potato.) In a small bowl, combine and mix together the garlic, mayo, Asiago cheese, pepper and chives. Fill hallowed out potato with the mixture. Can be made 1 day in advance, cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. When ready to serve, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until tops are brown.(I added a little bit of additional grated cheese on top for looks.) Serve hot or at room temperature.
