Double Baked Potatoes
4 large potatoes or equivalent small ones
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese
some frozen chives (this sounds vague- buy the frozen ones in a little
plastic container, not the dried, and when you add them put in enough
to make it look like there are chives in there. A spoonful?)
1/2-1 larger sized container of sour cream
Peel, cube, and boil the potatoes till soft. Put the cream cheese in the bottom of a mixing boil and add the drained potatoes on top. The potatoes have to be hot and go right on the cheese or else it won't melt enough to mix it in easily. Mix in about 1/2 the sour cream container and add more until the potatoes are not too dry, like the consistency of creamed potatoes. Add chives until the potatoes look chived (since they don't do much, it really doesn't matter). Mix well, and spoon into oven safe bowl. Press down to get out air pockets and smooth the top. Bake at about 350-400 until the top begins to brown (about 15 min. I think)
Double-Cheese Double-Baked Potatoes
4 large idaho baking potatoes -- baked
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons low-fat or skim milk
1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Cut off 1/2 inch from long side of each potato. Scoop cooked potato into bowl, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell. With fork or potato masher, mash cooked potato in bowl; beat in ricotta, Parmesan, milk, basil, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into potato shells, dividing evenly and heaping filling if necessary.
3. Lightly spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray; place stuffed potatoes on cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Variation: Halve baked potatoes lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving thin shells. Make filling as above; spoon filling back into each potato half dividing evenly. If using a microwave instead of cooking stuffed potatoes in conventional oven, place potatoes on microwave serving plate. Microwave on Medium until heated through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.
