Traditionally, pineapple rings decorate a whole ham. Here, chopped ham and crushed pineapple mingle with a cheese filling in tiny stuffed roasted potatoes. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds small unpeeled new potatoes |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese |
1/2 cup finely chopped cooked ham |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soft cream cheese with chives and onions |
3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, drained well |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
garnish: fresh parsley sprigs |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a lightly greased roasting pan. Bake at 400° for 50 minutes or just until tender. Let cool. Cut potatoes in half. Using a small spoon, scoop out most of pulp from each potato half. Set shells aside.
2. Combine potato pulp, Gruyère cheese, and next 6 ingredients; stir mixture well. Spoon mixture into potato shells. (You can make the potato bites ahead up to this point and store them in the refrigerator overnight.)
3. Place potatoes on a rack in a roasting pan. Broil 5 1/2 from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 4 to 5 minutes or until golden. Garnish, if desired.
