Potato Appetizers
These Potato Poppers are soft and tender potatoes filled with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, garlic, and parsley and then baked until soft and bubbly and melty. They are also bite-sized which is awesome in my opinion and are just so filled with flavor and so crowd favorite (even the extra picky eaters like them!) that I just can’t have enough of them.
Bite-Size Appetizer
If you are thinking that making a ton of bite-sized potato poppers is a pain, don’t! It’s actually really quick, and really easy and really fast and the kids love helping to stuff them so that’s great as well, but let’s talk about my favorite part.
Can You Freeze Potato Poppers
You can actually do the whole boiling, cooking, mixing, and stuffing at once when you are meal prepping (or appetizer prepping) and then freeze them. Once you are ready to serve them, just pop them in the oven for 30 minutes and voila! Hands off appetizers or side dish done!
I like to keep them simple and to the point after all what else you need when you have cheese + baked potatoes + parsley? In my opinion nothing else, but you can also tuck in there some crispy bacon, some chili, or even a bit of pulled pork.
If you are feeling extra creative, you can even grab all the leftovers that are sitting in your fridge, mix them with all the cheeses and sour cream and use that to fill your potato poppers.

Can I Use Other Potatoes Besides Red
You can use any new potato that is smaller in size. I find these work great. Or you are welcome to cut up and use a russet potato and make it into a bite-size appetizer if you would like. But it won’t have the skin on each site like these do.
