My entire family is addicted to these Cheesy Sausage Stuffed Red Potatoes. We ate a whole pan of these the other night, and the kids still wanted more.
They are perfect as finger food, a side, or even a main dish. Each marvelous red potato is salted, then filled with a sausage, cream cheese, and fontina cheese, before being covered with crunchy panko bread crumbs.
The tops are then baked until golden brown for the ultimate finger food.
Once potatoes are cool enough to handle cut potatoes in half.
Scoop Sausage Mixture evenly between potatoes. I used a small cookie scoop to make it simple.
Cheesy Sausage Stuffed Red Potatoes make the perfect game day food.
In a large saucepan add 10-12 mini Baby Red Potatoes and cover with about 2 inches of water.
Bring to a boil, and cook for 25-35 minutes until potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes, and allow to cool until cool enough to handle.
In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil until hot.
Add 1 pound Ground Italian Sausage and 1/2 cup Diced Onion. Cook until pork is done, and onion starts to brown.
Stir in:
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
Brush Olive Oil on skins and sprinkle with a little salt.
Scoop out just a little of the potato flesh to form a lip to hold the filling in place.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Cream together 4 ounces Cream Cheese, and Sausage Mixture until well combined.
Add 1 cup Grated Fontina Cheese, and 1 cup Parmesan Cheese. Mix until well combined.
Scoop Sausage Mixture evenly between potatoes. I used a small cookie scoop to make it simple.
Slightly pat down the top for panko to adhere to.
Stir together:
- 3 tablespoons Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
- 2 tablespoons Grated Fontina Cheese
- 1 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
Divide Panko Bread Crumb mixture evenly over the top and bake in 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
Make sure to give these hot little bites of deliciousness a few minutes to cool off before serving. They are very hot!
