Stuffed New Potatoes Recipes
Stuffed New Potatoes are baked potato look-alikes, but are best served at room temperature; a perfect cold appetizer recipe or picnic food idea. The variations for this recipe are classier than the original!
Stuffed New Potatoes
12 small new, same-sized red or white potatoes
1/4 cup
crème frâiche
or sour cream
1/4 lb. bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese or shredded cheddar
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Note: Don't try to substitute small potatoes for new in the original Stuffed New Potatoes recipe or any of its' variations. It's just not the same.____
Bring enough salted water to cover the potatoes to boil in a medium size saucepan. Place the potatoes in the boiling water and reduce the temperature to low. Cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove the potatoes and cool.
Just before serving, cut each potato in half and carefully scoop out a portion of the center with a small spoon or melon baller. (If need be, you can take a very thin slice of potato off the bottom so that it will sit flat.)
Place a small dollop of crème frâiche or sour cream in the center. Top with a pinch of cheese, bacon and chives. Makes 24 appetizers.
Stuffing Variations:
- Crème Frâiche topped with 1/4 teaspoon black caviar (about 1 1/2 ounces total) and a chive garnish.
