Fancy loaded mini baked potatoes

Print Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 12 Mini potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 lb small red or yellow potatoes about 2 inches big, you don't want ones that are too small to stuff
  • A few tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 oz Cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 8 Slices of Prosciutto di Parma (3 for the filling and 5 for topping)
  • Chives for topping
  • 1/2 cup Creme fraiche depending on how much you want to drizzle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dry potatoes and add to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic power, salt and pepper. Use your hands to coat the potatoes. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for about 25 min or until the potatoes are tender when poked.
  • When potatoes are done, keep oven on and add a few slices of Prosciutto di Parma to a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 min or until the prosciutto is browned. Let cool and it will become crispy.
  • Making potato filling by combining cream cheese, gruyere cheese and prosciutto to a bowl. Break the prosciutto up with your hands before adding. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. 
  • Once potatoes have cooled enough to touch, slice potatoes and using your pointer fingers and thumbs, gently push down on the sides of the potato to create a little divot. If needed, use a small spoon to remove a little of the potato to allow for the dip.
  • Add filling to each potato and transfer to the oven to bake for 12 min + (and then I like to do a little 2-3 min broil at the end).
  • Top with a little piece of Prosciutto di Parma on top, a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chives. Enjoy!
