Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large baking potatoes (8 to 10 oz each)
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/3 cup julienne sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and herbs, drained
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, well drained
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh basil or parsley, if desired
Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with fork. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each potato lengthwise in half; scoop out insides into medium bowl, leaving a thin shell. Add milk to potatoes; mash with potato masher or electric mixer until no lumps remain (amount of milk needed will vary depending on type of potato used). Stir in pesto, tomatoes, olives and 1/2 cup cheese. Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with basil and additional cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, firm potatoes that will hold their shape well during baking. Look for varieties like Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or baby potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato; it should go in easily.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before stuffing: This will make them easier to handle and prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
  • Be generous with the pesto and sun-dried tomatoes: These are the key flavors in this dish, so don't be afraid to use plenty of them.
  • Top the potatoes with cheese before baking: This will give them a golden, cheesy crust.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, while the potatoes are still hot and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

These pesto and sun-dried tomato stuffed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to holiday parties. With their creamy pesto filling, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and golden cheese crust, these potatoes are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy potatoes, give this recipe a try!
