Alouette Mini Baked Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED MINI POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 365 F
• Toss all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl until potatoes are fully coated. Transfer the potatoes to an 8-10'' baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and toss the potatoes with a wooden spoon. Uncover the potatoes and increase the heat to 450 F. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and easy to poke with a fork (keep an eye on them since potato sizes can vary!) Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss until potatoes are covered and garlic is evenly distributed. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, shaking every 5 minutes to prevent burning, until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

MINI JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub with the oil, then toss with sea salt. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hr. Let the potatoes cool for 10-15 mins, then cut a small cross in the top of each and pinch the bases to open a little. Add a teaspoon of soured cream to each, a little freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkling of chives. Serve straightway.

"ALOUETTE" POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a gentle boil.
• Cook until potatoes are just tender.
• Drain.
• Place potatoes in a large bowl and add all ingredients except the"Alouette".
• Mix well and transfer to a buttered 8x8 inch glass baking dish with 2 inch sides.
• Press the potatoes with a spatula to make top as flat as possible.
• Set aside for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350^F.
• Spread"Alouette" evenly over potatoes and bake 15 minutes.
• Divide between plates.
• Garnish with finely diced red and yellow bell peppers.

MINI TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bake until a knife inserted into the potatoes goes in with little to no resistance, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place half of the bacon into a bowl. Add the panko, 2 tablespoons chives and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Mix to combine and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine the sour cream, butter, heavy cream, the remaining bacon, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chives and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, cut off the top third of each potato. Remove the skin from the tops. Using a 1 teaspoon measure or a melon baller, scoop out some of the insides of the cooked potatoes, leaving 1/4-inch borders around the edges. This creates little boats. Place the scooped insides and the peeled tops of the potatoes in a medium bowl and mash using a potato masher or the back of a fork. Add the reserved bacon and sour cream mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix together the filling until well combine. Spoon the filling back into the potato boats until slightly overfilled and mounded on top. Top with a sprinkling of the panko mixture and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until the filling is heated through and the topping is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Spoon back into potato shells. Top with bacon. Place on microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Or place on oven-safe dish and bake 15 minutes at 350° F or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with green onion. *Look for real bacon pieces in the aisle with the salad dressings. Or you could fry 1 to 2 strips of bacon very crisp, drain and crumble.
