Now the baked potato wants in on the appetizer action.
Make it mini, pop it on a skewer, and youve got a new classic party snack.
I fully dislike regular baked potatoes.
Then you need a plate to dissect it and dump condiments inside, most of which will remain cold.
The mini baked potato corrects all of these issues.
Everything on the skewer is miniaturized, so you might eat it in one or two bites.
And since theyre hilariously small, making mini baked potatoes ten times more fun to eat.
Make these skewer balls with any baby potato variety you’re able to find.
Decide what you want to flavor them with, and if that needs to be cooked as well.
Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper, and oil up your spuds.
Even if it looks too salty, it will be perfect later.
Carefully pop the potatoes onto bamboo skewers.
Add half a strip of bacon to the skewer.
You have two things to consider with your bacon here: how it looks and the texture.
you might wrap the bacon around the potato, or leave it next to the potato.
You might find you want everything in one big bite, so wrap it around.
Or if youd rather see all of the ingredients clearly, leave it curled to the side.
If you like chewy bacon, skewer it raw, and it will bake up chewy and flexible.
If you like crispy bacon, par-cook it first.
Once the skewers are prepared, bake them for 20-30 minutes in a 350F oven.
Now it’s possible for you to add cheese.
you’ve got the option to adjust these mini potato skewers to what works for you.
I served mine with a small bowl of sour cream and chives.
Have fun trying out new toppings, and enjoy your new favorite potato pops any time of year.
