How to Make Stuffed Baby Red Potatoes

  1. Scrub 1 pound of baby red potatoes thoroughly.
  2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly until comfortable to handle.
  5. Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato to create a lid. Scoop out the potato pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell.
  6. In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp with 2 tablespoons of butter until smooth.
  7. Set aside 2 teaspoons each of shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon for garnish.
  8. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon to the mashed potatoes.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Spoon the mixture into the potato shells.
  11. Top with the reserved cheese and bacon.
  12. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  13. Place the stuffed potatoes in an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  14. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 12-18 minutes, or until a food thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C).
