Elevate potato gems into a crispy cup filled with cheesy bacon and chive goodness, perfect for festive gatherings and beyond!
Ingredients:
  • 800g potato gems
  • 6 streaky bacon rashers, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 120g spring onion & chive cream cheese
  • 130g (1/2 cup) sour cream
  • 40g cheddar, finely grated
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 1 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 230C/210C fan forced. Grease two 12-hole non-stick patty pans and place 3 potato gems into each hole. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook bacon, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Take the trays out of the oven. Use the end of a wooden rolling pin or large spoon to shape the gems into potato gem cups along the sides. Bake for 20 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Let them cool slightly in the pans before transferring to a serving platter to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, lemon juice, half of the bacon, and two-thirds of the chives. Season with pepper, then mix well. Fill the potato gem cups with the cream cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  • Garnish the cups with the leftover bacon and chives before serving.
