Cute little stuffed potato poppers are the life of the party

I love when the cooler weather hits. That is my excuse for pulling out all of my holiday decorations and creating a festive and colorful home! There is nothing I love more than being together with my family, snuggled warm by the fire, enjoying each other’s company with delicious food at the ready. These sour cream stuffed new potatoes are the perfect afternoon snack for my kids or filling appetizer for my upcoming holiday parties.

Made with creamy Daisy Sour Cream, cheddar, smoky bacon and onions these potatoes come alive with flavor. This recipe is a personal favorite of my husband’s and I enlisted his help in the kitchen.
