Can the mini baked potato bites be made vegan and gluten-free?
Yes! That’s why I love this recipe. It can be made to fit anyone’s needs. I would just use vegan sour cream and cheese shreds!
What you need to make baked potato bites:
Baby Potatoes: You can use gold, red, or whatever you like best!
Sour cream: You can make it yourself or use your favorite store-bought brand. Kite Hill makes a great vegan version!
Herbs & Seasonings: I didn’t give specific herbs in the ingredient list because I really feel like this recipe should be made to your liking! But garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast are all staples for me! I also love adding some dried oregano.
Toppings: I like to add what I what use on a regular loaded baked potato. Chopped chives and shredded cheese are great. I also like adding a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning!
