Twice Baked Red Potato Bites

Baked potatoes are SO good and these twice baked red potato bites are even better. These little bite size goodies are loaded with crispy bacon, green onions, delicious cheese, and the creamy potato filling making these twice baked red potato bites super tasty and a great appetizer.

My favorite potato is the red potato especially when I make potato salad. There’s just something special with these little tasty spuds.

What I do to make these delicious twice baked red potato bites is poke each potato with a fork a few times, then I wrap them in foil and place on a baking sheet. Next, I bake these in the oven on 375° for about 25-35 minutes or until they are soft when forked.

In the meantime while the potatoes are baking, fry up some delicious bacon, grate cheddar cheese, slice up some tasty green onions and right before serving, cut up the avocado for the final touch!

After the potatoes are done baking, put the butter, cream cheese,  and 1/4 cup of grated cheese into a medium mixing bowl. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the foil and slice off the top of each potato. Spoon out the insides, making sure to leave a little potato flesh, about an 8th inch thick, and place in the mixing bowl on top of the other ingredients.

Once all the flesh has been scooped out of each potato and placed in the bowl, mix with an electric mixer, or a potato masher, adding milk as needed to get the desired consistency. Spoon potato mixture back into each potato and place back onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 additional minutes.
