Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes image

I developed this recipe completely by accident. I was making my usual stuffed potatoes and was in a hurry. So instead of mashing the potatoes, I just tossed everything together. My family and friends actually liked them better.

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 small red potatoes, unpeeled
1/3 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
pepper
nonstick cooking spray

  • Bake uncovered 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • While potatoes are baking, combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  • When potatoes are tender, remove from oven and set the oven to broil. Fill the hole in each potato with yogurt mixture. Place potatoes under the broiler for a few minutes, until cheese is hot and begins to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Small, round potatoes like baby potatoes or new potatoes work best for this recipe as they cook evenly and hold their shape well.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes before roasting helps them cook through evenly and become tender on the inside while remaining crispy on the outside.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and Parmesan cheese provides a rich and flavorful filling for the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Stuff the potatoes carefully: Use a small spoon or piping bag to carefully stuff the potatoes with the cheese filling. Be careful not to overstuff the potatoes, as they may burst during baking.
  • Bake the potatoes until golden brown: Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven until they are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: These cheese-filled little potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.

Conclusion:

These cheese-filled little potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy outer shell, tender and flavorful filling, and cheesy goodness, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and crowd-pleasing snack or side, give this recipe a try!
