STUFFED BAKED POTATOES DECONSTRUCTED



Stuffed Baked Potatoes Deconstructed image

My original recipe. I love twice or stuffed baked potatoes, but sometimes they don't come out just right. The insides overcook, the outsides get really crisp. There is no way to save overcooked insides, but the shells are still great, so I dumped the insides, mixed up some potato buds with extras. Then I broiled the hollowed out skins till very crisp. I mixed the Potato Buds with a lot of garlic, sour cream, deli italian cheese blend, and green onions. I then served the soft potatoes as a mash on the plate and cut the very crisp potato skins into "chips" for scooping up the mashed. My 91-year old patient really got a kick out of this and I'm sure kids will too.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large russet potatoes, Extra-Large, baked, cut lengthwise and insides removed
2 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes
3/4 cup Italian cheese blend, packaged in Deli
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 cup green onion, chopped, green and white parts

Steps:

  • Thouroughly wash large russets and bake at 450 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and scrape out potato, leavine a scant 1/8 inch of potato on skin.
  • If your potato is baked perfectly, feel free to use it, rather than using the potato buds. You will need to add some milk and butter to make the right consistancy.
  • If using the Potato Buds, prepare according to package directions, but make them a bit thicker by adding an extra 1/4 cup of buds when told to add the buds. You have to do this to compensate for the sour cream which can make your potatoes too thin.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to your potato and mix well.
  • Place the 4 halves of potato skin under broiler and broil until very crisp, watch closely to avoid burning. You can lower the rack to keep from burning.
  • Tear or cut the crisp potato skins into "chips".
  • Place the "potato mash" on plate, garnish with some chives and serve the "chips" to scoup up the potato. I actually stuck the skin chips into the mash at odd angles, it looked kinda cool.
  • *****This is one of the oddest things I have ever dreamed up, but it is good.

BAKED STUFFED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC



Baked Stuffed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic image

Look for baby Yukon Gold potatoes that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. If you can't find them, try small boiling potatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head garlic, 1/2 inch cut off top
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling and brushing
1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes (about 18), scrubbed
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic on parchment-lined foil. Season with salt and pepper, generously drizzle with oil, and wrap. Roast until fragrant and soft, about 1 hour. Leave oven on.
  • Cover potatoes with salted water by 2 inches in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and return to hot pan. Let stand for 5 minutes to dry.
  • Halve potatoes crosswise. Trim (and reserve) rounded ends of each half slightly, so potatoes sit flat with cut sides up. Scoop out flesh using a melon baller, leaving a thin layer on bottom and sides, and transfer to a bowl. Peel reserved ends; add to bowl. Stir in oil, sour cream, and thyme. Squeeze garlic cloves from skins into potato mixture. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil. Fill each potato half with about 1 1/4 teaspoons potato mixture, mounding slightly. Place potatoes 1 inch apart on sheet, and lightly drizzle with oil. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Bring to room temperature, and bake just before serving.

Categories     side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings; each potato has about 115 calories

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup or more low-fat cottage cheese
4 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Paprika to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Wash and dry potatoes. Prick the skins. Bake for 60 minutes, or until done.
  • Cut an oval slice from the top of each potato, and scoop out the pulp. In a blender, whip cottage cheese until creamy.

  • Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Dust the tops with Parmesan cheese and paprika, and return to the oven until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt before baking.
  • To ensure even cooking, use potatoes that are similar in size.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook more evenly.
  • To make the filling, use a combination of cooked vegetables, cheese, and seasonings. You can also add cooked meat or poultry.
  • For a richer filling, use a combination of sour cream, cream cheese, and butter.
  • To prevent the filling from becoming dry, add a little milk or broth.
  • To make the potatoes ahead of time, bake them and let them cool completely. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Creamy stuffed baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or side dish. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give creamy stuffed baked potatoes a try.
