2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
24 baby red potatoes
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
¼ teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Heat in the microwave until potatoes are tender enough to easily poke with a fork, about 6 minutes. Cool until easily handled.
Slice potatoes in half and scoop filling into a bowl. Set potato skins aside.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds potatoes (I used a yellow skinned potato)
3 tablespoons buttermilk (or milk)
⅛ cup sour cream
Left over mashed potatoes (or packaged mashed potatoes)
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons butter
½ tablespoon chives (or green onions, sliced)
3 pieces bacon (cooked crisp and chopped or 2 tablespoons bacon bits)
⅓ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
10 ¾ cubes cheddar cheese
1 roll of biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wash potatoes and poke with a fork a few times. Bake potatoes in oven 1 hour or microwave until soft. Allow to cool slightly.
Slice each potato in ½ length wise. Scoop out the pulp and mash potatoes, buttermilk, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
Stir in chives, bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Let cool completely.
Wrap 1 ½ tablespoons of mashed potatoes around each cube of cheese. Roll each biscuit with a rolling pin until big enough to enclose the potato ball. Be sure to seal each biscuit completely to hold the cheese in.
Place seam side down on parchment lined baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
