Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slices bacon
4 russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups cauliflower florets (from about 1 small head)
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 small clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon hot paprika, plus more for topping
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

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.

Tips and Conclusion

Speedy Stuffed Potatoes offer a delightful and convenient meal that combines simple ingredients with delectable flavors. Mastering this versatile dish requires attention to detail and a few clever tips to achieve perfect results:

  • Optimizing Potato Selection: Choose medium-sized potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Russet potatoes are a popular choice due to their fluffy texture when baked.
  • Baking Perfection: Prick the potatoes with a fork to ensure even cooking and prevent bursting. Bake at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Scooping Technique: Once baked, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell. Use a spoon to gently scrape the edges to create a well for the filling.
  • Savory Filling: Prepare a flavorful filling using ingredients like cooked ground beef, sautéed onions, and a blend of spices. Add shredded cheese for a gooey and indulgent touch.
  • Perfect Balance: To prevent a soggy result, drain any excess moisture from the filling before stuffing the potato shells. This helps maintain a crisp texture.
  • Finishing Touches: For a visually appealing presentation, top the stuffed potatoes with additional shredded cheese and chopped parsley before returning them to the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  • Serving Suggestions: Speedy Stuffed Potatoes can be served as a main course or as a hearty side dish. Accompany them with a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra layer of richness.

In conclusion, the world of Speedy Stuffed Potatoes is a culinary adventure that welcomes creativity and experimentation.
