Hummus Avocado Potato Bites

Serves: 12
INGREDIENTS:
  • 6 small yellow flesh potatoes
  • 1 cup prepared hummus
  • 1½ small avocados, cut into 12 pieces (each half into 4 horizontal slices)
  • 1 green onion stalk, sliced thinly (I find kitchen scissors way better than knives for this)
  • Optional: a teaspoon or so of flowers from your preferred herbs (I used purple rosemary flowers), or sliced fresh herbs like cilantro, basil or parsley
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Cut a small slit into the skin of each potato so that steam can easily escape as they cook.
  3. Lightly grease a small medium baking dish, add in the potatoes and roll them around so that they are lightly coated in the oil on all sides. Place a tight fitting lid on the dish (or cover tightly with aluminum foil) and bake for one hour. They need to be soft all the way through and their skins should be turned into a light golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven, remove the lid, scoop out the potatoes with a large slotted spoon and set them aside for a couple minutes, until they are cool enough to handle.
  5. Use a knife with a thin, sharp blade to slice the potatoes in half lengthwise (gently so the skins don't tear). Place them on a large plate, cut side up.
  6. Scoop a tablespoon or so of hummus onto each potato half, top with an avocado slice and a sprinkle of green onion and whatever herbs preferred.
