These are amazing. And you 100% have to serve them or bring them to your Super Bowl party on Sunday. People will be singing your praises all year long and finding any excuse to invite you over. People might even forget there is a football game on and just hang out around the table with these bites - or maybe that's just me.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Dutch Yellow Baby Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 6 strips bacon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Chipotle Guacamole
  • 1 cup Chipotle salsa
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • Sour cream as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Drizzle the whole potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • While the potatoes are baking, cook off 6 pieces of bacon until crispy and then set aside to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop the bacon.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool until they are cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes in half, and scoop out a most of the inside of the potato, leaving about ¼ inch remaining.
  • Crank the oven up to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the cut potatoes back onto the baking sheet, cut side up. Lightly drizzle the tops with the remaining olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder and red pepper flakes and place them back into the oven for about 5-10 more minutes. Flip them onto their other side and bake for another 10 minutes before removing them from the oven.
  • Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet, cut side up. Spoon equal amounts of refried beans into each potato, followed by equal parts bacon and shredded cheese. Place the potato skins back into the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Take the potatoes out of the oven and top them with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, scallions, chives or whatever else you'd like to top them with and serve immediately.

Notes

Bite size potatoes make this a really fun appetizer. Stick with potatoes that have sturdy skins and don't scoop out too much flesh so they stay together.

  1. oooo yum! Not sure why it never occurred to me before to use refried beans & guacamole on potato skins, but I can't wait to try it!

  2. pretty basically I'm in it for the commercials, half-time and the food and beer! I'm going to take these with me to my neighbor's party...

    1. I have a feeling we would have a kick ass superbowl party spread if we lived next to each other!
