Lemon-Caper Parmesan Potato Salad Bites

Turn "jacket potatoes" into irresistible potato salad bites. Capers offer a twist on traditional relish; they're actually pickled flower buds and add bright, briny flavor to this appetizer.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°.
Step 2
Combine potatoes and oil; toss to coat. Arrange potatoes, cut sides down, in a single layer on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes; bake 10 minutes. Remove and cool 20 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat broiler to high.
Step 4
Using a paring knife, carefully cut a circle in the cut side of potatoes. Using a melon baller or small spoon, remove pulp from potato, 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.
Step 5
Broil potatoes for 2 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.

Tasty!
Made these for my Kentucky Derby party. They were very good and quite a hit!
Lovely appetizer
Made these a couple of times, and they went over well. Scooping out the potato and stuffing the shells was easier than I expected. The 2nd time I made them, I forgot the butter and couldn't even tell the difference! They add a nice variety to a party spread.

I made these tonight to go with oven fried chicken and a wedge salad- very tasty. Might be easier to stuff the filling into a half baked potato. Will try that next time.

These were awesome. A bit time consuming to get as much potato pulp out as possible and not tear the shell, but worth it I think. Made as suggested. Wouldn't change a thing.

This is a great appetizer and/or side dish. I eliminated the capers as we do not care for them and I used fresh parsley rather than the chives as that is what I had on hand. I froze the leftovers and they reheated very nicely.
