This is a great easy appetizer which is savory and great! Blue cheese (but if you don’t like blue … use cheddar. I like gorgonzola honestly, crispy bacon a little shallot for some tang, fresh rosemary stuffed in a mini red skinned potato. Great warm or room temperature. Perfect football food. A great make ahead appetizer. Pop in the oven and15 minutes later … enjoy!

Instructions

1First I boil the potatoes. I boil in salted boiling water for 10 minutes until slightly soft but not overdone. Then I cut a small slice over the top of the potato and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the potato. If they are larger potatoes, you can cut them in half. Depends on the size.
2In a small saute pan saute the chopped bacon until crisp, remove and drain. Reserve just a 1/2 teaspoon of the drippings, just a small amount to saute the onion in.
3Once the onion has cooked a few minutes remove and let cool. Add the onion, bacon, blue cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper, and rosemary.
4Use a small spoon to spoon the filling into the potato. I like to bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. I don’t really worry about if they roll over during baking. The cheese will not run out. This is a great easy appetizer. Make ahead and reheat before serving.

What's the difference between an ale and a lager? To find out, we visited Boomtown Brewery in Los Angeles, and met with Production Manager, Benjamin Turkel, to learn about the similarities and differences between the two beers. Benjamin took us through the different style points and production methods to learn ultimately what separates the two styles of brews.
