Pioneer Womans Fluffy New Potatoes Recipes

PIONEER WOMAN'S FLUFFY NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat over to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Rinse and dry the potatoes; place potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and massage to coat. And don't get too attached- you know how this will end.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Set aside for 15 minutes.
• Place the sour cream, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chives, pressed garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
• Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
• With a spoon or melon baller, scoop out inside of the potatoes, leaving a very thin rim of potato inside the skin.
• Add the potato pulp to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
• Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash the ingredients together until fluffy and smooth.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning; be sure to salt it adequately.
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.
• At this point, you can flash freeze the potatoes if you want:
• Stick the pan in the freezer, uncovered, and allow them to harden on the outside for about 20 minutes or so then simply throw them into a couple of large Ziploc bags, seal tightly, and freeze until you need them.
• When you're ready, bake the potatoes in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven until thoroughly warmed through.
• The potatoes will soften, "melt", and fill the potato shells as they bake. Yummmmmm.
