    Why you'll love this recipe

    • You'll love this recipe because it's quick and easy to put together and makes for a perfect mini appetizer like my bacon jam and gruyere croccantini. 
    • You can cook the golden potatoes in the oven or an air fryer.
    • The little potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
    • The added fresh dill yields a great aroma and compliments the creamed bacon.
    • A generous amount of crispy bacon on every bite 
    • For my game-day party food lovers, the creamy bacon topping doubles as a dip for all things. This bacon jam dip and pumpkin dip with goat cheese are some of my favorites.

    If you love sour cream in your dishes, you should try my eggless cornbread recipe; it's worth the bite.

    📜Ingredients

    Here are the main ingredients for the baked potatoes loaded with sour cream: 

    ingredients list for baby potato bites.

    New potatoes: purple or golden mini potatoes 

    Sour cream: Sour cream compliments potato so well that it's hardly a miss when added. 

    Goat cheese: Soft or crumbled goat cheese is perfect for this dish. It adds a slightly tangy and mildly sweet flavor to the topping. 

    Herb: Fresh dill is my go-to for this recipe, as it adds a pleasant aroma to the sour cream and goat cheese. See the substitution list below if you can't find dill. Dried dill should be a last resort.  

    Bacon: Bacon adds a mouthful of crunch and flavor to these fingerlings and shouldn't be skipped. 

    Garlic: Roasted garlic is best as the taste is not pungent compared to fresh garlic. When roasted, garlic lends a sweet caramelized flavor.

    Substitutions

    Potatoes: You can cut a small Yukon fold in half. Place them on a baking sheet face-side down before baking. 

    Sour cream: Greek yogurt, cream cheese, or ricotta can be used instead.

    Goat cheese: feta cheese or tofu for vegans.

    Fresh Herbs: chives or parsley 

    👩🏽‍🍳Step-by-Step Instructions

    To make these baked potatoes with bacon dish, you'll start by rinsing off any dirt trapped on the potatoes. Pat dry with a paper towel.

    Potato Topping ideas

    To make a potato dish into a dinner recipe, you can go crazy on the toppings or light if you have it as a side dish. To make an equally tasty variation, here are some ideas to liven up roasted potatoes;

    • Bacon jam: This apple bacon jam with caramelized onion is the holy grail and would make for an ultimate topping.
    • Cream cheese with sour cream 
    • Cheese: sharp cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella 
    • Beans with melty cheese
    • Seasoned Minced beef 
    • Hard-boiled eggs or runny eggs 

    Equipment

    • Oven or air fryer (if you'd instead make an air-fried version)
    • Rimmed baking sheet  (affiliate link)

    Storage

    I doubt you'll have any left, but if you do, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Freeze the potatoes separately without the topping. 

    Place the topping in a ziplock bag, releasing any air to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to a month. Leave at room temperature to defrost before serving.

    Tips to make it ahead of time

    Are you hosting a party or get-together and need to sort out appetizers before it gets wild? You are lucky because these loaded dill potatoes are easily made in advance. Here are some tips to guide you;

    • Bake the potatoes and wrap them in foil until you are ready to use them. 
    • Once ready, preheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes or until warm (remove the foil before heating up for that crispy outer layer)
    • Make the topping ahead by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl except the dill. Cover with a wrap and refrigerate.
    •  Once it's time to serve, fold in the fresh dill and add to the baked potatoes.
