Recipes3 Ways You Can Dress Up The Plain Baked Potato
If you are tired of making just the plain old baked potato for your family dinners, I have 3 recipes that I would like to share with you.
All of these recipes require you to bake your potato, either in your oven or your microwave. For the best results, I recommend oven baking. If you like sour cream, you can certainly add a dollop of that onto the potato once you remove it from the oven.
Classic Twice Baked
4 white potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
shredded cheddar cheese
Bake your potatoes until done. Remove and let slightly cool. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp. Place pulp in a blender container with salt, pepper, milk and butter. Blend on low speed until creamy. Spoon filling back into potato halves and sprinkle with some shredded cheese. Place back into a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Potatoes Suzette
6 medium white potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup of warm milk
salt and pepper to taste
bread crumbs
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
6 eggs
Bake potatoes in a 350 degree oven until done. Remove from oven and slice the tops off each one. Scoop out the inside pulp and place in a blender container along with milk, butter, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Fill each shell with pulp mixture and then make an indentation in each. Break an egg into the indentation and sprinkle bread crumbs and shredded cheese on top. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the egg has set, about 15-20 minutes.
Baked Tomato Potatoes
4 large white potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup finely diced tomato
3 tablespoons butter
shredded cheddar cheese
Bake your potatoes until done. Remove and let slightly cool. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp. Place pulp in a blender container with salt, pepper, tomato juice, diced tomatoes and butter. Blend on low speed until creamy. Spoon filling back into potato halves and sprinkle with some shredded cheese. Place back into a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
