If you love potatoes, you’re going to be obsessed. Let’s dive into making these roasted beauties
You’ll need:
2 Medium Russet Potatoes
1 tbsp Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
2 tbsp Table cream
2 tbsp Butter
½ tsp garlic powder
Tzatziki/ Sour cream
Basil leaves/Scallions

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400F
Take two prewashed Russet potatoes and rub olive oil to completely coat them. Top with salt, garlic powder and toss it in the oven for 45 mins to 1 hour till tender. Let cool once they’re out so they get easy to handle
Cut lengthwise into two parts each and scoop out the flesh in a bowl leaving very little on the skin. Now brush the potato with butter, sprinkle salt and pepper. This is how they should look:
Toss the potato skins in the oven at 400F for 10 mins
In the meantime, lets prepare the stuffing. To the potato flesh, add cream, melted butter, salt & pepper and chopped basil leaves. Mix thoroughly to combine
Add the filling to the baked potato skins and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Broil in the oven for 10 mins
Once out, top them up with some Tzatziki or Sour cream and some chopped scallions. You can also fill these potato skins with Shredded chicken or Mushrooms and top them up with crispy bacon
