makes 40 appetizers
1-1/2 pounds small red potatoes (about 20)
1 cup sour cream
4 bacon slices, cooked crisp, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chives, snipped
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, finely grated
Fresh rosemary garnish
Bring potatoes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer
and continue cooking until they are fork-tender but still
firm. Drain; put into cold water
to stop the cooking action then drain again. Using a sharp
knife cut each potato in half, do not tear the skins. Scoop out and discard centers
of potatoes with a melon baller leaving a 1/4-inch wall. Cut a
thin slice off bottom of each potato allowing them to sit level on a plate.
In a
medium bowl combine sour cream, cooked bacon,
seasoning salt, black pepper and snipped chives. Spoon sour
cream mixture into
halved potatoes until they are stuffed full; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and
serve, or if you prefer they can be placed
under the broiler to melt the cheese. Either way these
stuffed red potatoes are very tasty. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
Potatoes can be served either hot or cold.
Wine recommendation: Pinot Noir
