Preheat the oven to 450°F. Then wash the mini potatoes and add them to a 9x13 glass baking dish.
900 g mini potatoes
Next, melt the butter in the microwave and pour it over the potatoes. Add ½ tsp coarsely ground salt and toss to coat well.
2 tbsp butter, ½ tsp coarse salt
Once the oven is preheated bake the potatoes for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, dice the bacon into ¼ inch pieces and add to a pan. Cook until crisp. I like the bacon to be extra crispy in this recipe to add the perfect contrast to the potatoes. Once cooked, removed from the pan and place onto a paper towel.
280 g bacon
Now, grate the cheese on a fine grater and roughly chop the chives. Keep the cheese in the fridge until you need to use it.
100 g cheddar cheese, 5 g chives
Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cook for about 20 minutes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending the size of the potatoes and add them to a large bowl.
Add the cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream, salt and pepper and toss everything to combine well.
900 g mini potatoes, 100 g cheddar cheese, 280 g bacon, 60 ml sour cream, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp ground black pepper, Coarsely ground salt and pepper
