FAQ:
Can I make these potato bites in advance? Yes! You can prepare the potato slices, bake them, and store them in the fridge for up to a day. When ready to serve, top with cheese and bacon, then bake until melted and crispy.
Can I use other types of potatoes? While russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe due to their texture, you can use baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for a slightly different taste and consistency.
Can I bake them instead of frying? Absolutely! Baking is a healthier option and still produces crispy potato bites. Be sure to coat the potato slices with enough oil to ensure crispiness.
How do I make these dairy-free? Use dairy-free cheese and sour cream alternatives to make these loaded potato bites dairy-free. There are many great vegan options available in stores.
How do I prevent the potatoes from getting soggy? Make sure to bake the potatoes until they are crisp before topping them. Avoid overloading with sour cream before serving, as it can make the bites soggy.
