Stuffed Baby Red Potatoes Recipe 185

STUFFED BABY RED POTATOES RECIPE - (1.8/5)

Steps:

• Place baby potatoes in an ovenproof pan, coat with oil and roast in the oven at 375 degrees for approximately 40 minutes or until tender when tested with the tip of a knife. Remove from oven and cool. Cut a thin slice off bottom of each allowing them to sit level. Cut and remove 1/3 off the top of each potato with a sharp knife being careful not to tear the skin. Scoop out and discard centers with a melon baller leaving at least 1/4 inch wall. (It's not as hard as it seems. If you want more potato and less filling, just scoop out a smaller amount of the potato.) In a small bowl, combine and mix together the garlic, mayo, Asiago cheese, pepper and chives. Fill hallowed out potato with the mixture. Can be made 1 day in advance, cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. When ready to serve, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until tops are brown.(I added a little bit of additional grated cheese on top for looks.) Serve hot or at room temperature.

STUFFED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let cool and break into small pieces. In same skillet, add turkey, salsa, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring to break meat into small crumbles, until turkey is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off and discard 1/4 inch from the top of each. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl; add milk to bowl and mash. Stir in turkey mixture, bacon and 1/3 cup cheddar; spoon evenly into potato skins. Top with remaining 1/3 cup cheddar. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray. Place stuffed potatoes on pan and bake until heated through, 15 to 17 minutes.

MINI STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut potatoes in half crosswise. Mix with oil in bowl. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake potatoes until just tender, about 25 minutes, and cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, 4 tablespoons scallion or chives, and bacon. Add pepper to taste. Cut a thin slice off rounded end of each potato so that it will sit upright. Turn the potatoes over and, using melon baller or small spoon, scoop out some of the center of each potato (reserve for later use in potato pancakes or gnocchi). Fill with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream mixture, and garnish with the remaining scallion or chives. Serve immediately or cover and chill until needed.
