Yield: Serves 5 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 35 to 40 minutes

Another football favorite, these potato bites allow your guests to customize their snacking experience. I like setting up a little snack bar for everyone to load up with whatever they want, which means less work for me. These can be eaten by hand or with a knife and fork.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed

Garlic olive oil

Kosher salt

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

3 scallions, sliced

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Using a sharp knife, make several cuts through each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Rub with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 30 minutes, or until tender.

3. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

4. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

5. Let cool for 10 minutes, then top with scallions and serve.
