Ingredients Youā€™ll Need šŸ›’

Letā€™s break it down:

For the Crusty, Cheesy Base:

  • 1 pack of @Brazi_Bites Cheddar & Parmesan Cheese Bread ā€“ youā€™ll need about 24 pieces
  • A little oil or butter to grease the muffin tin

For the Creamy Potato Filling:

  • 2 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour (or regular if you’re not avoiding gluten)
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika ā€“ to taste
  • Optional: fresh chives for garnish, extra parm on top

How to Make Baked Potato Bites

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 400Ā°F (200Ā°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with butter or spray oil. Grab those delicious little cheese bread balls and place two in each muffin cup. Press down slightly to mold the base.

Bake for 6 minutes while you prep your dreamy potato filling.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Garlic Cheese Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Toss in your minced garlic and let it cook until fragrant (hello, aroma therapy šŸ§„āœØ).

Add the flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes to form a roux (a.k.a. the thickening base of our sauce).

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to keep things smooth and clump-free. Keep stirring until it thickens slightly.

Now itā€™s time to season: I like a good pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Then, stir in all your shredded cheeses until they melt into one glorious, silky sauce.

Step 3: Add the Potatoes

Thinly slice 2 medium potatoes (use a mandolin slicer for even, super-thin slices). Add them to the cheese sauce and stir gently until theyā€™re all coated.

Pro tip: This step makes sure every bite is coated in that garlicky, cheesy goodness. Trust the process.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake Again

Take your partially baked Brazi Bites base out of the oven. Spoon the cheesy potato mixture on top of each one, layering in the slices and topping with extra sauce and shredded cheese for a bubbly, browned finish.

Pop everything back in the oven and bake for 10ā€“12 more minutes, or until the tops are golden and a little crispy.

Sprinkle with fresh chives and extra parmesan for that chefā€™s kiss moment. šŸ’‹

Variations & Customizations

Wanna spice it up? Try one of these fun twists:

  • Add crispy bacon or pancetta for a smoky upgrade
  • Stir in some sautĆ©ed spinach or kale for added greens
  • Make it spicy with jalapeƱos or hot sauce
  • Try different cheeses like GruyĆØre or smoked gouda
  • Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweet, nutrient-rich spin

What to Serve with Baked Potato Bites

These bites are amazing on their own, but hereā€™s how to make them part of a whole moment:

  • Serve with a side salad for balance
  • Pair with a big bowl of soup (like tomato or broccoli cheddar)
  • Add to your game-day spread or party board
  • Use as a hearty appetizer at your next dinner party

Storage Tips

If you (miraculously) have leftovers:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness

You can even freeze themā€”just wrap individually and pop into a freezer bag. Reheat straight from frozen at 375Ā°F for about 15ā€“20 minutes.
