Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 thin slices of prosciutto
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a small slice off the top of each potato. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carefully scoop out the centers, leaving a small rim of potato around the edge. Reserve the potato flesh for another use.
- Fill each hollowed-out potato with the cream cheese mixture, pressing it in gently. Wrap each stuffed potato with a slice of prosciutto, making sure to cover the filling completely.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the filling is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped chives, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
