Baby Potato Bites with Smoked Fish

Baby potatoes topped with cream cheese and smoked fish.

Serves 6 to 8  Prep Time 20 to 30 minutes  Baking Time 45 minutes to 1 hour

150 to 200 grams baby or new potatoes, rinsed well
salt and freshly ground pepper
olive oil
3 tablespoons skim milk
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan  cheese
3/4 cup finely chopped smoked fish

1  Preheat oven to 350F. 

2  Put potatoes on a baking pan. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with some olive oil.

3  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender. 

4  Cut each baked potato in half, remove pulp, and set potatoes aside. 

5  Mix potato pulp, milk, butter, cream cheese, Parmesan, and smoked fish. Season well. Spoon this mixture back on the potato halves.

6  Return stuffed potatoes in the baking pan and bake for another 15 minutes.

Tater tips:
•  Baby or new potatoes are small, round potatoes that are high in moisture and sugar but low in starch. This gives them a firm, moist texture when cooked, making them especially good for mashing.

•  The large, oval-shaped potatoes are the opposite—low in moisture and sugar but high in starch. They usually have a dry, mealy texture, and are often used for frying.
