Prepping the Bites

Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes. Flip and roast for 5 more minutes until golden brown.
Let potatoes cool slightly, then scoop out a tiny well in each for your savory toppings.

Adding Toppings

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each potato bite, then bake for 2–3 minutes more until cheese melts.
Top with sour cream, green onions, crispy bacon bits, and jalapeño slices.
