Baked Mashed Potato Bites Recipe
Description
This recipe uses creamer potatoes and whole garlic cloves boiled until tender, then mashed together with olive oil, salt, and pepper. The addition of chopped prosciutto, sliced green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced parsley brings savory depth and freshness to the mix. The mashed mixture is pressed into a mini muffin pan, shaping small individual bites.
Baking at 375°F browns the edges, providing a slight crispness that contrasts with the creamy potato filling. The skins in the creamer potatoes add texture and rustic character to the bites.
These bites work well as appetizers or side dishes. Garnishing with yogurt is optional for creaminess. They can be seasoned further or reheated gently to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds Creamer Potatoes I used Dynamic Duo, Little Potato Company brand
- 5 garlic peeled, cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces prosciutto chopped
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley flat-leaf, minced, for garnish
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- yogurt if desired, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin pan (24 cups) with cooking spray.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cut the potatoes in half. Add the potatoes and garlic cloves to the boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Scoop out and reserve ¼ cup of the cooking water. Drain the potatoes and garlic into a colander. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Mash the potatoes and garlic cloves with the olive oil, pepper and salt until combined. They won’t be completely smooth because of the potato skins. If the potatoes are a little dry, mash in some of the reserved cooking water.
- Stir the prosciutto, green onions, Parmesan cheese and parsley into the mashed potatoes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Using a spoon, place 1 ½ tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture into each muffin tin. Lightly press down the mixture.
- Bake until the potato bites are browned around the edges and starting to brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Using a small metal spatula, remove the potato bites from the muffin tin and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with yogurt and parsley, if desired. Serve.
