This is a fun
idea, to combine twice-baked potatoes and omelets. When I saw it, I knew it was completely doable to make for dinner and tonight I finally got around to trying it. I baked the potatoes in the oven, thinly cut the top off lengthwise, scooped out most of the potato, sprinkled in fillings and cracked an egg on top. We had a filling dinner and now we have leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge for later. This would also be a great holiday (like Easter!) breakfast, using the mashed potatoes for dinner.
For baking potatoes:
Russet potatoes
olive oil (or oil of choice)
kosher salt
Scrub potatoes, poke about six holes, rub oil and sprinkle salt around them. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
Directions:
After the baked potatoes cool, thinly cut (lengthwise) the top of the potatoes. Scoop out the potatoes, leaving some potato coating the skins.
Fill in the potato three-fourths full with cheese, bacon, green onions, olives, etc., and crack one egg on top. Grind black pepper, salt (if wanted), more grated cheese, herbs, etc.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. The egg white should be firm but the yolk runny. Pretty delicious!
Hi! Thanks for visiting The Iowa Farmer's Wife! I think Still Alice would be a great book for a book club, but Sarah's Key is also a really good read (I just finished it). One More Day by Mitch Albom is good (and a very fast read), too. Please let me know which book you end up doing, especially if wasn't on the list! :)
