BAKED POTATOES WITH TUNA AND CHEESE



Baked Potatoes With Tuna and Cheese image

I'm not a tuna salad lover so I wasn't sure about this recipe when I first ran across it but since there's no mayo, it's not anything like tuna salad -- at least not to me. Cooking and prep time does NOT include the time for baking the potatoes since the time varies greatly depending on whether you use the oven, microwave or crock pot for baking the potatoes initially.

BAKED POTATO WITH TUNA MAYO



Baked Potato with Tuna Mayo image

I got the idea for this recipe from watching videos on youtube from a Scottish food vlogger. "What's For Tea" is the name of Cheryl's youtube account. This is my version of what she makes. My cook time includes the time to bake the potato. That time will vary depending on which method you use to cook the potato. I usually...

Categories     Fish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium idaho potatoes, baked, air fried, instant pot or microwaved
5 oz chunk light tuna, in water (one small can), do not drain
2 Tbsp mayonaise, regular, light, or olive oil blend
2 Tbsp instant mashed potato flakes
1 pinch black pepper, ground, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the cooked, hot potato part way thru from end to end.
  • 2. Hold the potato with a kitchen towel and gently squish it end to end to "open" the cut. Set aside.
  • 3. Open the can of Tuna and empty the contents into a bowl. A small bowl like a cereal bowl is fine. I prefer to keep the liquid because of reserving any nutrition that may have cooked out of the fish in the canning process.
  • 4. Add the Mayonnaise and stir. This will be very runny.
  • 5. Add the Potato Flakes and stir. This will thicken the mixture and not affect the taste of the end product. You can also use the powdered/shaker Parmesan cheese and/or Ranch dressing mix added to (or instead of) the Potato Flakes to add variety.
  • 6. Add the black pepper. Stir in. I use fresh cracked but you can use any kind, Red, white, powdered. You can also add Paprika (sweet or smoked). I love variety.
  • 7. Diced Pickle can also be added as well as cheeses, herbs or mustard and creamy salad dressings. It is so fun to play with the flavor of the tuna mayo.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a large russet potato. This type of potato is starchy and bakes up light and fluffy.
  • Prick the potato all over with a fork before baking. This will help the potato to bake evenly.
  • Bake the potato for 60-75 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Once the potato is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before handling.
  • Use a fork to fluff the potato before adding the tuna salad.
  • Top the potato with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, or chives.

Conclusion:

Baked potato with tuna mayo is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a hit. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna salad, and it's also a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
