Parmesan Potato Bites are a delicious and simple appetizer or snack that are perfect for any occasion. These bite-sized treats are made by hollowing out small red potatoes and filling them with a savory mixture of onions, turkey bacon, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Once baked, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them the perfect finger food for your next party or gathering. This recipe is easy to customize, so feel free to experiment with different herbs or toppings to make them your own.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Wash and dry the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, cut a small slice off of the top of each potato, then slice a small layer off the bottom of each potato to create a flat base.
3.	Carefully scoop out the center of each potato with a small spoon, leaving a thin layer of potato around the edge.
4.	In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and turkey bacon, cooking until the onion is translucent and the bacon is crispy.
5.	Add the garlic and pepper to the skillet, cooking briefly until fragrant.
6.	In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and rubbed sage.
7.	Fill the potato shells with the onion and bacon mixture, then sprinkle a generous amount of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top.
8.	Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are tender. Serve hot and enjoy!
