Garlic and Herb Twice-Baked Baby Potatoes

These Garlic and Herb Twice-Baked Baby Potatoes are a delicious and flavorful appetizer and a great gluten-free side dish.

It’s December! Time for treats, hearty comforting meals, and delicious appetizers. I have to admit that the appetizers are one of my favorite parts of the holidays. Although I probably tend to eat too many, especially when there’s wine involved 🙂

Today, I’m celebrating the produce of December with some of my blogging friends (scroll to the bottom of the page to see their recipes!) and I decided to highlight potatoes.

Why I Love Potatoes

Potatoes are one of my favorite ingredients. They’re versatile, and there are quite a few varieties. One of my most popular recipes is my Crispy Potato Tacos made with russet potatoes. Another delicious recipe is these Loaded Guacamole Roasted Potato Cups!

That’s also the recipe that inspired these Garlic and Herb Twice-Baked Baby Potatoes. Baby potatoes make such a great potato appetizer, and let’s face it, they’re pretty cute, too. 🙂 These twice-baked baby potatoes are filled with creamy potatoes flavored with garlic and fresh herbs. They’re so delicious, and I’m sure your guests will be impressed when you serve these babies!

Twice-Baked Potatoes Recipe Ingredients

• Potatoes – I used a small bag of baby potatoes.
• Olive oil
• Butter – Feel free to use vegan butter if desired.
• Garlic    
• Herbs – I chopped fresh rosemary, parsley, and thyme.
• Grated cheese – Vegan cheese will also work if needed.
• Salt

How To Make These Garlic and Herb Twice-Baked Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place potatoes on a large baking sheet and toss them with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bake potatoes until fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Let the potatoes cool, then cut them in half. Use a small spoon or teaspoon to scoop out the middle of the potatoes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
3. In a small pot, add the butter, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the garlic is starting to brown.
4. Add the garlic herb butter to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Add a teaspoon of the potato mixture to eat the potato skin, and sprinkle the top of each with about one teaspoon of cheese.
5. Place the potatoes back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 7-10 minutes. They are best when served immediately and sprinkled with fresh herbs.
