Ingredients
small round red potatoes
12 (washed and whole)
olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons (for sautéing)
onion
3/4 cup (finely chopped)
uncooked diced turkey bacon
1/4 cup (about 2 slices)
fresh ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon (to taste)
garlic
3 cloves (smashed)
parmesan cheese
1/2 cup (finely grated, about 2 ounces)
rubbed sage
1 teaspoon (for flavoring)
Instructions
1
Begin by cooking the washed red potatoes in a large pot of boiling water for about 15 minutes or until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
2
In a nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and diced turkey bacon. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and the bacon is browned.
3
Preheat your broiler to high, positioning the oven rack 3 to 4 inches below the heat source.
4
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully cut them in half. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell intact.
5
In a bowl, mash the scooped potato pulp with a fork. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, rubbed sage, and the sautéed onion mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
6
Using a spoon, fill each potato shell with about 1 tablespoon of the potato filling, mounding it slightly on top.
7
Arrange the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.
8
Remove from the oven and serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
