STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until cooked through.

• To the potato flesh add the cheese and dip. Mix well and spoon mixture into potato skins.
• Bake for another 30 minutes, or until heated through.

SUPER-STUFFED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain and reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Chop the bacon.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. Pierce each potato in a few spots with a fork and continue baking until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, fit a medium pot with a steamer insert, fill with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add the buttermilk, garlic, vinegar, paprika, the reserved bacon drippings, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; pulse until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup of the cauliflower puree for topping.
• Slice a thin layer off the top of each potato, then scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick wall. Mix the potato flesh with the remaining cauliflower puree, three-quarters each of the cheese and scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Stuff the potato skins with the potato-cauliflower mixture and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Top with the reserved cauliflower puree, the remaining scallions, the bacon and more paprika.

STUFFED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash potatoes and poke 2 or 3 vent holes in each with a fork. Bake potatoes in oven until done, about 1 hour. (Poke with a fork and if fork goes in easily they are done). Remove potatoes from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in 1/2 lengthwise and scoop pulp into mixing bowl being careful not to break skin. Mash potatoes with butter, cheese, milk, and chives. Taste-test and adjust seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper. Spoon mashed potatoes back into skins and place in a 9 by 13-inch dish. Return to oven and heat thoroughly.

BAKED STUFFED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC

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.
