Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 large potatoes, diced
  2. 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  3. 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  4. 1/2 cup sour cream
  5. Salt and pepper to taste
  6. Chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and dice the potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes, ensuring even cooking. Pat the potato cubes dry with a paper towel to help them crisp up during roasting.
  3. Spread the diced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure golden brown and crispy edges. They should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. While potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
  6. Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once potatoes are done, remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Top the roasted potato bites with a dollop of mashed avocado, sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and add a small spoonful of sour cream.
  9. Garnish with finely chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
  10. Serve immediately while potatoes are still warm and crispy for the best texture and taste.

Tips

  1. Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet for the crispiest results.
  2. Dry your potato cubes thoroughly to ensure maximum crispiness.
  3. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give potato cubes space to roast evenly.
  4. Cook bacon until extra crispy for the best texture and flavor.
  5. Use a ripe but firm avocado for the best mashing consistency.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm crispy potatoes and cool creamy avocado.
  7. For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the potatoes before roasting.
  8. Make sure to have all ingredients prepped before starting to ensure a smooth cooking process.
