Boil baby red potatoes in a pot covered with 2 to 3 inches of water on high heat until boiling, then turn down to low and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Once cooked, set the potatoes aside and let them cool.

In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until melted.

Add flour to the melted butter to make a roux, stirring to combine and ensuring it doesn't burn.

Add beef broth, apple cider vinegar, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper to the roux, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, turn down to medium-low and let simmer until the gravy thickens.

Cut the tops off the cooled potatoes and use a melon baller to scoop out the insides, creating a pocket.

Sprinkle a little salt inside each potato pocket for added flavor.

Break up garlic cheddar cheese curds and fill each potato pocket with the curds.

Fill each potato pocket with warm gravy, ensuring to fill every crevice.

Preheat the grill to 350°F and place the filled potato bites inside for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp them up.

Remove from the grill and top with prepared bacon bits and chives.

Let cool slightly before serving.
