Beefy Potato Volcano Recipes

VOLCANO POTATOES - TOO RETRO!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
• Whip potatoes with enough hot milk to make light and fluffy, approximately 3/4 cup.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Pile into greased 8-inch round baking dish, mounding into a volcano shape.
• Make a crater in the center. (My mom would press a one-cup measuring cup about halfway into the potatoes, maybe a little more.).
• Whip the cream, and fold in the cheese.
• Pour cream and cheese mixture into the crater.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

BAKED POTATO VOLCANO

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes first. 425 degree oven for 45-60 minutes. Let cool.
• Scoop out about 1/3 of the potato (melon baller is suggested).
• Wrap bacon around potato, starting at base, about 3 strips per potato. Secure with toothpicks.
• Mix cream cheese, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, green onions, chilies, salt and pepper.
• Fill the potato with the cheese mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Top with folded slice of chedder per potato. Bake 5 minutes more to melt that cheese.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Cut in half to display the melting volcano.

GRILLED POTATO VOLCANOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Thoroughly scrub the potatoes and poke a few holes in them to vent. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on the grill over direct heat to cook for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix 1 ½ cups (150g) of cheddar cheese, the cream cheese, and green onions in a medium bowl until well-combined. Set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest until they are cool enough to handle. Unwrap each potato and cut off the ends so they can stand up. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the center of each potato, being careful not to make the walls too thin, and to leave a bit of thickness at the bottom as well. Fill the potatoes with the cheese mixture and wrap 2 slices of bacon around each one. Secure the bacon with toothpicks, if necessary.
• Reduce the grill temperature to about 350˚F (175˚C) and place the potatoes on the grill over indirect heat for 30 minutes with the lid closed.
• After 30 minutes, top the potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and cook for another 15 minutes. Before serving, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some green onions.
• Enjoy!

BREAKFAST POTATO VOLCANOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• On a cutting board, peel potatoes then cut each in half widthwise.
• Using a melon ball scooper or a metal teaspoon hollow out the potato starting from the cut side, once you have most of the potato hollowed out from that side create a smaller hole on the rounded side and continue hollowing until you can see through the potato.
• Place potatoes in water to avoid discoloration while you finish hollowing out the rest.
• Place potatoes with the smaller hole facing up on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Wrap one piece of bacon and each potato, tucking in the end of the bacon so it stays in place. You might need to use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until bacon reaches desired crispiness.
• Allow potatoes to cool slightly then press cheddar cheese into the bottom of the potato.
• Crack an egg over the top hole of the potato being careful not to let too much of the egg white pour over the side.
• Sprinkle chives over the egg.
• Bake for 6 to 12 minutes depending on how well done you would like your eggs.
• Let cool before serving.
• Enjoy!
