Loaded Baked Potato Bites. Need I say more? Potatoes topped with cheddar cheese, sour cream, crispy bacon, fresh chives, and cherry tomatoes. This delicious comfort food is the perfect side dish to go with dinner on any night.
ALL ABOUT THIS OVEN-BAKED GOODNESS:
In addition to its comfort food qualities, I also love this potato recipe because it is:
- Easy: Only a few simple ingredients that you probably already have, and it’s very easy to make!
- Healthier: If you opt for healthier versions of ingredients, for example, raw grass-fed cheddar cheese, organic sour cream, and high-quality bacon, this recipe is great for clean eating.
- Versatile: You could always add more of your favorite toppings! Guacamole would even be great!
- Enjoyed by everyone! It’s a delicious side that everyone will love. You could even create a baked potato bar and let everyone choose their toppings.
WHAT YOU WILL YOU NEED:
- Potatoes: I like to use organic russet potatoes. I don’t bother peeling them in this recipe.
- Avocado Oil: This is my favorite high-heat cooking oil for clean eating. It’s a healthy substitute for vegetable and canola oils. You could use pasture-raised melted butter or ghee instead if desired!
- Bacon: My go-to organic bacon. It’s high-quality, humane, delicious, and I feel good about eating it.
- Cheddar Cheese: Extra cheese, please?! I love this grass-fed organic raw cheddar cheese.
- Sour Cream: This is a must for this recipe in my opinion! Here’s a great quality organic sour cream.
- Toppings: I like to top my potato rounds with cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, and fresh chopped chives. It’s so good! Feel free to add any other toppings.
