85-Calorie Lemon-Caper Parmesan Potato Bites
Ingredients
- 12 small red potatoes, halved (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ cup light sour cream
- 2 tbsp minced fresh chives, divided
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp finely chopped drained capers
- 1½ tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°
- Place potatoes and olive oil in a mixing bowl, tossing to coat. Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in a single layer on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the potatoes over and bake another 10 minutes. Remove and cool 20 minutes.
- Preheat broiler to high, while you scoop some of the flesh from each potato half.
- Using a paring knife, gently cut a circle in the cut side of potatoes to loosen the flesh. Next, using a melon baller or small spoon, remove pulp from each potato half, leaving a thin shell. Combine pulp, sour cream, 1 tablespoon chives, and next 5 ingredients (through pepper). Evenly fill potato shells with filling; sprinkle with cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon chives. Enjoy!
