Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)

How to Make Cheesy Loaded Potato Bites

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
7. Serve warm with a side of sour cream for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispiness, soak the potato cubes in water for 30 minutes before cooking, then dry them thoroughly.
• Experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors.
• Make sure to spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet; overcrowding can lead to sogginess.

Easy Variations

• Spicy Loaded Potato Bites: Add chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a kick.
• Herb-Infused: Mix in dried herbs like rosemary or thyme with the seasoning for added flavor.
• Meat Lovers: Top with crumbled bacon bits or diced ham before adding cheese for a heartier snack.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad for a light contrast.
• Spicy dipping sauces like sriracha mayo or buffalo sauce.
• Veggie platters with dip for a colorful spread.
• Mini sliders for a fun combination of bites.
