The image shows a close-up of several small sandwiches neatly arranged on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich is made of soft, shiny, golden-brown bread rolls with a smooth, slightly glossy top layer. Inside, there is a generous layer of melted white cheese that looks creamy and slightly stretched, sitting over a rich, dark brown, crumbly meat filling mixed with green herb bits, all tightly packed between the bread halves. The sandwiches are placed closely together in two rows, highlighting the soft texture of the bread and gooey cheese. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 pounds small potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk
Slider buns

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Wash the small potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3: Toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Step 4: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Step 5: While the potatoes bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat with chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook until the meat is browned and cook off any excess grease.
Step 6: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Mix until the cheese mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7: To assemble the sliders, place a spoonful of the cheese mixture over each crispy potato slice, then top with a spoonful of the cooked meat.
Step 8: Place each filled potato slice onto a slider bun to create your sliders.
Step 9: Serve the sliders immediately while warm and enjoy the melty, savory goodness.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, pat the potato slices dry before tossing with oil to remove excess moisture.
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the cheese mixture for added freshness.
If you like it spicy, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the meat.
To make it vegetarian, replace ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or black beans.

Storage

Store any leftover meat and cheese mixtures separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to assemble the sliders just before serving to keep the potatoes crispy. Reheat potato slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use larger potatoes instead of small ones?

Smaller potatoes work best because they create perfect bite-sized rounds. Larger potatoes can be sliced thinner, but be careful not to make them too fragile or they may break while assembling.

Can I prepare these sliders in advance?

You can prepare the meat and cheese fillings a day ahead and store them in the fridge. Bake the potatoes fresh and assemble just before serving to keep the sliders crispy and delicious.
