Ingredients
  

  • 6 small potatoes baby or new potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/4 cup cooked mushrooms finely diced, as a bacon alternative

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them in half. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out a small portion of the center, creating a small well.
  • Brush the potato halves with melted butter, then place them cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for about 15 minutes until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together cheese, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and mushrooms.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven, flip them over, and spoon the filling into each well.
  • Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm!

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, air-fry the potato skins before filling.
  • For extra protein, add crumbled tofu or lentils to the filling.
  • Make it dairy-free by using vegan cheese and dairy-free yogurt.
