Ingredients

• 16 small new potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Place the new potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Use your hands to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Using a small knife, carefully cut off the top third of each potato. Scoop out the insides with a teaspoon, leaving a thin shell intact. Place the potato scooped flesh into a mixing bowl.

Step 7

To the mixing bowl, add butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash together with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed mixture back into the potato shells, mounding slightly on top to create a dome shape.

Step 9

Place the filled potatoes back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Step 10

Bake the potatoes again in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the oven, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
