Potatoes

Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel, then prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Preparing the Filling

  1. 3

    Mix the Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, chili powder, and cumin. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Scoop and Fill

    Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a thin layer of potato to maintain structure. Add the scooped potato to the filling mixture and stir until well combined.

  2. 5

    Stuff the Potatoes

    Spoon the filling mixture back into the potato skins, heaping it generously.

Final Baking

  1. 6

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filled potatoes. Place them back on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Bake Again

    Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sliced jalapeños. Serve hot and enjoy your Fiesta Potatoes!
