How to Make Mini Baked Potatoes

  1. Boil 1 pound small red potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly until easily handled.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Slice the potatoes in half crosswise.
  4. Using a melon baller or small spoon, gently scoop out a small amount of the cooked potato flesh from each half, leaving about ¼ inch border.
  5. Season the potato shells lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Fill each potato half with 1 teaspoon sour cream.
  7. Top with 1/4 teaspoon chopped olives, 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, and 1/2 teaspoon crumbled cooked bacon.
  8. (Optional) For extra richness, drizzle each potato half with 1/2 teaspoon melted butter before adding the sour cream.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and toppings are slightly warmed.
