Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds small unpeeled new potatoes
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soft cream cheese with chives and onions
  • 3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • Garnish: fresh parsley sprigs

Method

  • Place potatoes in a lightly greased roasting pan. Bake at 400° for 50 minutes or just until tender. Let cool. Cut potatoes in half. Using a small spoon, scoop out most of pulp from each potato half. Set shells aside.
  • Combine potato pulp, Gruyere cheese, and next 6 ingredients; stir mixture well. Spoon mixture into potato shells. (You can make the potato bites ahead up to this point and store them in the refrigerator overnight.)
  • Place potatoes on a rack in a roasting pan. Broil 5 1/2" from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 4 to 5 minutes or until golden. Garnish, if desired.
