Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
1 red or green bell pepper
1 bunch scallions
3 slices bacon
8 cups packed baby spinach (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Microwave until tender, about 12 minutes. Place directly on the oven rack and bake until the skin is crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper and scallions. Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then chop. Add the bell pepper and all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl; reserve the skillet.
  • Split the potatoes and scoop out half of the flesh from each; stir into the vegetables along with the cheese, broth, hot sauce and all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon back into the potatoes. Set on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat; crack the eggs into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set, 5 minutes. Serve the eggs over the potatoes; top with the reserved scallions and bacon. Serve with more hot sauce.

CREAMED SPINACH TWICE-BAKED POTATOES



Creamed Spinach Twice-Baked Potatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium russet potatoes (10 to 12 ounces each)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus melted butter for brushing
1 9-ounce package baby spinach (about 10 cups), large stems removed
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position racks in the middle and upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and dry well. Bake directly on the middle oven rack until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach (in batches, if needed) and cook, tossing with tongs, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, nutmeg, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to high and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a cutting board and finely chop; squeeze dry in a kitchen towel.
  • One at a time, hold each potato with another kitchen towel and halve lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Mash the flesh with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter until smooth; season with salt. Stir in the egg yolks and parmesan, then the spinach mixture. Brush the potato skins with melted butter; season the insides with salt and pepper. Set on a baking sheet.
  • Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Stir about one-quarter of the whipped cream into the potato mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
  • Mound the filling into the potato skins. Return to the oven on the top rack and bake until the filling is warmed through and starts browning, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until the filling is golden brown and the skins are crisp, 1 to 2 more minutes.

Categories     Sides

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can artichoke heart, drained and roughly chopped
3 ½ cups frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
8 oz cream cheese, cubed, room temperature
4 oz sour cream
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Rub the potatoes all over with the canola oil and season on all sides with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Working the batches if needed, nestle the potatoes inside of the air fryer basket and set the timer for 45 minutes. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes have crispy skin and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, make the spinach and artichoke dip: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until the butter begins to bubble. Add the onion, garlic, remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach and cook until the spinach is well incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and sour cream until fully incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese and stir until just combined and melted, 1-2 minutes more.
  • Using tongs, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and cut in half lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the insides of the potatoes. Top each potato with a heaping ½ cup of the spinach and artichoke dip, then top each with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  • Working in batches of 2-4 at a time, set the filled potato halves in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, until the edges of the potato are browned and the mozzarella is melted and browning.
  • Enjoy!

Spinach-Topped Baked Potatoes image

Here's a great way to get your green vegetables in! I really love this as an accompaniment to a nice steak, which makes a complete meal. And it's super easy, too.

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large baking potatoes
oil
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1 dash ground nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes thoroughly and prick the skins with a fork. Rub lightly with oil.
  • Place in a very shallow baking pan and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes feel soft.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze spinach to remove excess moisture. Saute in butter for 5 minutes. Add sour cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Heat and stir about 2 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and cut an "X" on top of each potato. Squeeze sides to force open. Spoon topping on potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are a good choice for baking, as they have a fluffy texture and a mild flavor. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may have a denser texture.
  • Scrub the potatoes well before baking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour. You can check to see if they are done by inserting a fork into the center of the potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Stuff the potatoes with your favorite fillings: Spinach, cheese, bacon, and vegetables are all popular choices.
  • Top the potatoes with cheese and bake until melted: This will add a delicious and gooey topping to the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:
