How to Make Baked Potato Bites
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and thinly slice 2 large russet potatoes into ½-inch rounds.
- Toss potato rounds with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper on a large bowl.
- Arrange potato rounds in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- Transfer baked potato rounds to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While potatoes bake, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup sour cream and 2 ounces cream cheese. Mix until smooth.
- Arrange potato slices on a serving platter.
- Top each potato round with a dollop of the sour cream mixture, 1 teaspoon crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
- Serve warm immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
