Mini Potato Bites

If you are a potato lover like me, you'll go wild for just about anything using these adorable mini potatoes. To prepare your potatoes, boil or bake them until tender. Allow to cool, and then carefully slice a thin layer off the top and bottom of the potato. (You want it to be able to stand on its own.) Using a small melon baller, scoop out most of the center of the potato, making sure to leave a floor to hold up your fillings. The tops and the potato filling that you removed can be incorporated into your toppings depending on your recipe.

Greek mini potatoes: Combine the potato filling with store-bought tzatziki sauce and top with feta cheese. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Top each potato with a slice of Kalamata olive.

Jalapeno potato poppers: Combine the scooped potato with cream cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeno, and shredded cheddar cheese. Fill potatoes, and top them off with a thin slice of jalapeno. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Irish potato bites: To the potato filling, add chopped corned beef and shredded Irish cheddar cheese, if you can find it. Fill the potatoes and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and chives or green onions.
