Two-Bite Vegan Baked Potatoes  

The Little Potato Company. They’re a really wonderful family-owned Canadian business and as you might have guessed, they specialize in potatoes! Specifically, the teeny tiny

They’re the littlest (and tastiest!) variety of premium potatoes. They’re nutritious, flavourful, and thin skinned. The Little Potato Company are creamer potato experts!

After learning a little more about the family and practices behind The Little Potato Company, I was struck by a few key things that I thought were unique and resonated with me:

passionate about what they do and they’re true to their values

they donate over 2,000 lbs of potatoes to food banks in Canada every single month

they recognize the value and efficiency of plant crops (like the potato!) to sustain the environment and feed the world

they’re killing the carbohydrate myth (and vegans LOVE their carbs!)

they own the exclusive rights to 6 delicious varieties of Creamers

in addition to their bags of Creamers, they also offer Ready Kits for delicious quick and easy potato side dishes (check them out at the bottom of this post!)

After excitedly applying to be part of this campaign a few of weeks ago, I received a big ol’ parcel full of The Little Potato Company’s creamer potatoes. I was sent 2 bags of Fingerlings and 2 bags of Baby Boomers. Wow, was I ever excited to get to work experimenting with these adorable little guys!

First, I sliced up a few Fingerlings and tossed them into this tofu & vegetable noodle soup that I was having for lunch. This was my first time sampling creamer potatoes and I was blown away! They weren’t mealy AT ALL, they really were

Now it was time to get serious, what kind of recipe was I going to make for this post?

I knew exactly what I wanted this recipe to accomplish:

create something that’s simple, quick, and easy

I decided to use the Fingerlings to make mini baked potatoes in two different delicious varieties: Tex-Mex and “Loaded Baked Potato”.

I learned 2 valuable lessons while working on this recipe: Fingerlings are PERFECT for mini baked potatoes (they’re like teeny tiny russets but 10x tastier!) AND mini baked potatoes are

Seriously, everything that has EVER sucked about eating a regular baked potato is 100% taken care of in this recipe:

no need to slather butter all over your potato to ensure it’s not dry

Every one of these little potato bites has tender, flavourful seasoned skins, the perfect ratio of toppings to potato, and they’re creamy and moist throughout the whole potato (with or without a tiny pat of vegan butter!)

These two bite baked potatoes are delicious little parcels just bursting with flavours!

The delicate Fingerlings are baked until the seasoned skin is lightly crisp and the center is soft and fluffy. Each potato is scored and lightly pinched to puff out the filling. Then, each one is topped with a smidgen of vegan butter and pinch of vegan cheese. They’re broiled until hot and bubbly. MMMmmm…

Feel free to top these with whatever your heart desires, but I decided to go with these 2 flavour options:

Tex-Mex – a sprinkle of ground chipotle or chili powder, a dollop of guacamole, a dab of sriracha or spicy taco sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onions. 

“Loaded Baked Potato”: a teeny dollop of vegan mayo or sour cream, a heavy sprinkle of fresh chives and dill, and cracked pepper.

Other other tasty topping options: salsa, hummus, crumbled tempeh bacon, leftover chili, and vegan parmesan.

These delicious Two-Bite Baked Potatoes would make a fun and unexpected appetizer at holiday parties. They also make a quick and easy finger-food dinner!

These little guys are quick to throw together (ready in 35 minutes or less) and they only require 8 ingredients (without extra toppings.)

The Little Potato Company\'s Fingerling potatoes are the star of this recipe! Thin-skinned with firm flesh and a unique flavour, their elongated shape makes them perfect for mini baked potatoes! Customize them with your favourite toppings or follow our directions for "Tex-Mex" or "Loaded" two bite baked potatoes. They\'re quick, easy, and simply delicious!

18-24 The Little Potato Company\'s yellow-fleshed fingerling potatoes (1 1.5 lb bag)

(Optional) For Tex-Mex potatoes: a sprinkle of chipotle or chili powder

Prick each potato with a fork 2-3 times. (Don\'t worry about washing these guys, it\'s already been done for you!)

Toss the hot potatoes in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 8 minutes before flipping and then bake for an addition 5- 10 minutes. Poke them with a knife to check if they\'re tender.

Once they\'re cooked, let them sit for 5-10 minutes until they\'re

cool enough to handle. Deeply score each potato both lengthwise and width wise.

Using your index fingers and thumbs, gently pinch and push the corners of each potato inwards to mash and fluff the cooked centers out of the potato. (Refer to the 4th set of pictures for a visual reference)

Drop a pat of vegan butter into the center of each potato followed by a big pinch of vegan cheese.

Place under the broiler just long enough for the cheese to melt and bubble.

For Tex-Mex potatoes: Top with a dollop of guacamole, a little drizzle of sriracha or taco sauce, and a sprinkle of chives or green onions.

For "Loaded Baked Potatoes": Top with a teeny dollop of vegan mayo or sour cream, a sprinkle of dill and chives, and black pepper.
