Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Crash had turned away from his monitor a few minutes ago, and a
gentleman had asked how to make stuffed potatoes. I'm going to bed, but I still think Bill would appreciate some help here. Thanks! Damsel Spud |

I am not the expert on these. I have usually baked potatoes, scooped out the flesh, mixed it with butter and cheese and put it back into the shells to bake at 350 for maybe 15 minutes. They were okay. Someone must have a better recipe. |

At 1 hour I test the crispness of the potato skin by feeling it with my hand...I'm looking for a russling sound and a very dry feeling skin. Once the skins are crisp enough I remove them from the oven and slice them in half the longest way and scoop out most of the potato innards into a bowl. I mash the potato up with some butter, a dash of cream, salt, lots of fresh ground black pepper and other stuff...such as celery seeds, cheddar cheese, roasted garlic, diced mushroom, diced green bell pepper and crumbled cooked bacon (whatever turns your crank basically). I don't like the potato too be too mashed so I stop at a kinda crumbled appearance. I scoop everything back in the skins...sprinkle on some additional cheddar cheese and return them to the oven for the cheese to melt. Then serve Note...use a towel to hold the extremely hot potato halves while you use a tablespoon to remove their innards. So you don't burn your little fingers. Oh I forgot to mention... scrub the spuds really clean before you start. -- The eyes are the mirrors.... But the ears...Ah the ears. The ears keep the hat up. |

Fine, but I wonder whether folks who do this ever just leave the thing alone and have a nice baked potato? Is all this other stuff a now and then thing or the usual thing? -aem |

Bake the potatoes, slice off the tops and scoop out the insides. Mash them with a bit of milk, add some grated Parmesan, then put the potato mixture back into the skins, brush with a bit of melted butter and put them under the broiler until they start to brown. |

Reminds me that for a time, maybe 15 years ago or so? that stuffed potato restaurants were popular. I never went to one, but I understand you'd buy a baked potato and stuff it with whatever from a salad bar type thing. Not a bad meal, I think. nancy |

Someone > must have a better recipe. I cook the potatoes in the microwave. Cook up some "trees" (broccoli) while they are cooking. Add butter and white pepper to the innards. While mashing, add milk until you like the texture. We usually salt at the table, but some salt might be good also here. Cut up some green onion and the "trees". Mix and stuff shells. Put grated cheddar cheese on top. Bake in oven until cheese is melted. It's a whole dinner by itself. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

I think the key is to add a bunch of butter and cheese to the insides, and you need to mash the mixture to the consistency of regular mashed potatoes. My friends and family have always begged me for my double stuffed 'taters. The only reason my hubby doesn't is 'cause he's trying to do low carb and won't eat a potato. If he tried mine, he would probably be HUGE. kili |

Probably another two minutes and they wouldn't be so chunky. Whatever floats your boat. I like them chunky, but if you want them pureed that would be good also. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

IOW, I scoop out the insides, mix the insides with my fillings (butter, cheese, sour cream, broccoli, etc.) and mash them all together with a fork or masher. It blends everything, requires very little clean up and it doesn't take very long. Then, broil to bubbly goodness. Yum. kili |

I add cooked-seasoned minced beef to the innards of the cooked potatoes,
mix well and put back into to the "shells" with grated cheese on top . Then return to oven or grill until the top is crispy. Mince can be as spicy as you want with whatever takes your fancy in it, mine normally has onions, dried tomatoes and chillis. Steve PS have restrained from commenting on the entry about microwaved baked spuds, they may be cooked but can't be considered baked Damsel wrote: > Crash had turned away from his monitor a few minutes ago, and a > gentleman had asked how to make stuffed potatoes.

Somebody will tell you the scientific reason why, I'm sure, or you can research it yourself. In fact, see what the KA manual might say about it. Mash with a potato masher or use an electric mixer. (Am assuming that 'whirling' them meant food processor, not mixer with wire beaters.) -- http://www.jamlady.eboard.com, updated 10-20-05 with a note from Niece Jo. |

Dan, doesn't nuking make for a too-tender skin for scooping? Maybe not, since you DO it. :-) -- http://www.jamlady.eboard.com, updated 10-20-05 with a note from Niece Jo. |

And if someone is not eating potatoes, there will probably be enough of the toppings selection to satisfy. You could put a little toaster oven at the end to heat up the toppings or melt the cheese, whatever. nancy |

Another thing you can do is baked potato skins and save the innards for mashed potatoes or potato patties. DH loves baked potato skins. He first had them in a sports bar and asked if I could duplicate them. They are perfect finger food for watching hockey |

You need to leave some flesh in there to hold it together, and sometimes you have a slip of the spoon and the skin is broken. Sometimes we just go ahead and use that one anyway. Sometimes I call that a "sacrifice to the Potato God". Just scoop out all the flesh and that makes more stuffing for the rest. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

My husband used to live a few blocks from a little stuffed potato stand in Metairie, LA. The potatoes were _huge_. I have never seen such a big potato before or since. They had all kinds of toppings -- barbeque, chili, taco meat, shrimp. It was fun. Max and Whit's supper last night was baked potato roughly mashed up with butter, a dash of salt, and the guts from some leftover kale quiche. So, anything tastes good mashed up with potato! Tara |

Stuffed Baked Potatoes
: I am not the expert on these. I have usually baked potatoes, scooped
: out the flesh, mixed it with butter and cheese and put it back into the : shells to bake at 350 for maybe 15 minutes. They were okay. Someone : must have a better recipe. Ya'll are talking about TWICE BAKED POTATOES, not Stuffed potatoes. Stuffed potatoes are where you remove some of the potato inside and replace it with something else like a meat or vegetable mixture. |
