Ingredients
  

12 small baby potatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

1/4 cup sour cream

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

      Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then toss to coat evenly.

        Bake the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

          Once cooked, let them cool for about 5 minutes, then slice each potato in half lengthwise.

            Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out a little bit of the flesh from the center of each potato half, being careful not to break the skin.

              Fill each potato skin with a mix of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, dividing it evenly among the halves.

                Return the filled potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh parsley for garnish.

                    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Mini Potato Skins!
