Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed
½ cup ranch-style salad dressing
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pierce the skin of the potatoes with a fork.
Microwave pierced potatoes on HIGH for 12 minutes. Place partially baked potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Slice off potato tops, scoop out the bulk of the interior of the potato being careful to leave the potato skins intact. In a medium bowl, mash the removed potato interior.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat, stir in butter. Saute onions in the skillet until tender, about 5 minutes.
Combine onions, broccoli, and ranch dressing with the mashed potato. Brush the outside of the potato skins with oil. Spoon potato mixture into the skins. Arrange stuffed potatoes on a cookie sheet.
Bake potatoes for 15 minutes in the preheated 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) oven, or until heated through. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked stuffed potatoes, as they are large and have a fluffy texture. However, you can also use other varieties of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be baked until they are soft enough to easily insert a fork, but not so soft that they are falling apart.
Scoop out the potato flesh carefully: Use a spoon to scoop out the potato flesh, being careful not to tear the skin.
Mash the potato flesh with butter and milk: This will create a smooth and creamy filling for the potatoes.
Add your desired fillings: You can add a variety of fillings to your stuffed potatoes, such as cheese, vegetables, meat, or seafood.
Top the potatoes with cheese and breadcrumbs: This will create a golden brown crust on the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes until they are heated through: The potatoes should be baked until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Elegant vegetarian stuffed potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a special occasion. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a satisfying and flavorful vegetarian meal, give these stuffed potatoes a try!
