- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse fresh cracked pepper
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese , shredded
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons bacon , crumbled

Instructions
- Fill a medium sauce pan 3/4 of the way with water and bring to a boil. While waiting for water to boil, scrub the 8 small-medium red potatoes and remove any blemishes.
- Place the potatoes in rapidly boiling water. Boil for 20-30 minutes (depends on the size) or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the potatoes from the boiling water to a paper towel lined plate. Pat dry.

- Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Meanwhile melt the 4 tablespoons butter and mix with the 2 teaspoons hot sauce, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1 teaspoon coarse fresh cracked pepper. Drizzle over each potato. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Top with the 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons bacon, 1/3 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons scallions. Serve immediately.
