April brings new blooms and new beginnings

Easy, Cheesy Potatoes

Servings: 12 servings

12 red potatoes, washed and cut in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Velata Lemon Garlic Artisan Rub
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 container Velata Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
6 chives, sliced lengthwise and cut in half

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Slice off a little of the skin ends of the potato halves to make a flat surface.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, garlic, Lemon Garlic Artisan Rub, salt, and pepper. Toss until well mixed.

Place potatoes in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish (flat surface down) and bake for 1 hour or until tender.

Let potatoes cool until you can safely handle them.

Heat Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip (follow tub instructions) and place in Velata Fondue Warmer to keep warm.

Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out center of potato halves, making sure to leave a thick enough edge to keep potato from crumbling.

Place potato centers in a mixing bowl. Add 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons of warm Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Mix until cheese is just incorporated into potatoes.

Using a teaspoon, tightly refill the hollowed potato halves with the cheese mixture.

Dip the top half of the filled potato halves in warm Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip and place back into baking dish.

Sprinkle potatoes with crumbled bacon and broil for 3-5 minutes to reheat.

Transfer potatoes to a serving dish.

Serve warm.
