These little potatoes are cheesy bites of delicious flavor with chipotle peppers in adobo, onion and garlic salt and smoked paprika. You can serve them as a side dish or an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of baby potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, divided
- 1 cup mozzarella
- 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, diced super small
- 1/2 teaspoon onion salt or powder, more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or powder, more or less to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, more or less to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Steps
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Boil your potatoes for 8 to 12 minutes depending in their size, so that they are fork tender but still firm enough to hollow out. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Use a small spoon or melon baller and scoop out as much of the inside of the potatoes without them falling apart. Transfer the scooped out potatoes to a food processor bowl that's been fitted with a steel blade for mixing. Put your hollowed out potatoes aside.
- Add the rest of your ingredients to the food processor bowl. Give it a whirl. If it doesn't mix well add some olive oil. You want it thick but pliable, sort of the consistency of cookie dough.
- Turn the food processor off. Unplug and remove the bowl. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon for each potato and start stuffing them so they are overflowing, and piled high. Place the finished potatoes on a grill pan.
- Add butter.
- Pop the grill pan on a outdoor grill and cook for about 10 minutes covered. Uncover and cook another 2 to 5 minutes depending the size of your potatoes and the heat of your grill.
- They should be browning on the bottom and the filling just starting to ooze and melt. Don't flip over stuffed potatoes.
- Make sure you keep an eye on them while cooking. And add more butter if they stick.
- Once they are ready carefully remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
