Potato Boats
4 large baked potatoes
1/3-1/2 cup hot skim milk [with three potatoes, I needed more than a half cup of milk for it to become moist. I just heated up the milk in the microwave (with the small amount 30 seconds was plenty).]
4 green onions, finely minced
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
paprika and parsley flakes
1/2 cup finely grated cheese (optional)
Scrub potatoes and bake them, allow to cool. Cut potatoes lengthwise and scoop out potato. Place potato skins on a baking sheet and put them in the oven to crisp. Mix potato, milk, onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley in a bowl. Whip for a few minutes until smooth. Take potato skins out of the oven and spoon potato mixture into them. Top with cheese. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 5-7 minutes.

Fancy pants!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you mentioned your cooking blog! I like this idea too! I am very interested in meals with out meat and this is right up that alley! Thanks Becky!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments! The recipe also has a variation of mixing 1 cup cottage cheese with the potatoes, which also sounds very good and moist. Yesterday I tried mixing about 1/2 cup of sour cream and (about) 1/2 cup cottage cream. It was very tasty! Again, I didn't have green onions on hand, but either adding garlic salt (instead of regular salt) or garlic powder tastes great!
