LOADED POTATO BITES
Think of this finger food as mini loaded baked potatoes. Peewee potatoes are boiled, smashed, and roasted until crispy and golden, then finished with a flavorful mix of all your favorite toppings: sour cream, scallions, bacon, and cheddar. They're just the thing for an Oscar-night or Super Bowl party.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with 2 inches of cold water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until a knife pierces potatoes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let cool 10 minutes.
- Drizzle each of 2 rimmed baking sheets with 2 tablespoons oil. Arrange potatoes on sheets, tossing to coat; lightly crush each with the heel of your hand or back of a spatula to about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper; roast, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Use immediately.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, scallions, and bacon; season with salt and pepper. Top each potato with 1 to 2 teaspoons sour-cream mixture. Garnish with more scallions.

Steps:
- 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.
