Stuffed Potatoes

Stuffed Potatoes

My cousin Janelle taught me how to make Stuffed Potatoes – and they are a family favourite.  There are so many toppings to choose from!  The key to a really great stuffed potato is to bake it long enough to the skin starts to go crispy – that way, the insides are deliciously fluffy – and easy to remove!

Method

1. Wash the potato.

2. Prick the potato.

3. Place the potato with a little water and cook on High fro about 10 minutes or until the potato is cooked through and soft.

4. Carefully, using a sharp knife, take the top off the potato.

5. Using a pair of tongs, hold the potato and, carefully, using a teaspoon, scoop out the filling.

6. Transfer the filling to a bowl.

7. Set the potato aside.

8. Fill the potato back up - top with some grated cheese

9. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees or until golden on top.

10. Enjoy as a side dish to roast meat and gravy!

11. Mix the potato filling with the ingredients.

12. If mixture is too dry, add a little more sour cream.

13. Cook the bacon and onion together in a saucepan until crispy.

14. Mix with the potato filling, sour cream and butter.

15. Mix potato filling with the above ingredients and re-fill the potato.

16. Top with grated cheese and shallots.
