Baked for Dinner Potatoes
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Wash the potatoes, prick them and bake for about an hour or until done.
- (If kids don't like very crunchy exterior, scrub the potatoes clean, wrap them in foil and then bake; they will then steam rather than bake.)
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil and saute peppers and mushrooms until tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in pesto, or other paste to taste and season with salt and pepper.
- When potatoes are done, split them almost all the way to the bottom and squeeze up some of the potato flesh; spoon vegetable topping over and around potatoes.
- If you did not add pesto or other paste, top with yogurt; if you added pesto or other paste, top with shaved Parmesan.
- VARIATION FOR ADULTS: Toast bread, top with thin slices of Swiss, Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese and melt slightly in toaster oven.
- After hamburger mix is done, separate mixture between two skillets.
- To adults portion add chopped green chilis or minced fresh jalapeno peppers.
- Can top with sour cream and slivers of red bell pepper.
