This recipe came from the current issue (October 2010) of Food network Magazine. I love that magazine and look forward to each new issue. This stuffed potato has a mixture of russet potatoes and sweet potatoes. They would be great just like that...but the recipe gilds the lily and tops it off with a nice sharp cheddar cheese. They were fantastic and would be great to add to your Fall menus!
Mashing the sweet potato...isn't the color gorgeous!
All stuffed and ready for the oven!
Marbled Stuffed Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (I didn't have scallions, used chives instead)
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- Preheat the oven to 400. Put the russet and sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake 30 minutes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and continue to bake until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes for the sweet potato and 20 to 25 more minutes for the russet potatoes. Let cool slightly.
- Peel the sweet potato. Transfer to a bowl and mash lightly with a fork until almost smooth. Trim a thin slice off the top of each russet potato, cutting lengthwise. Scoop most of the flesh into another bowl, leaving the shells intact. Add the sour cream and butter to the bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the scallions, 1/2 cup cheese, the nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the sweet potato.
- Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Generously fill with the marbled potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375, place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, 20 to 30 minutes.

I never would have thought to combine both sweet and regular potatoes in a double-baked potato but what a fantastic idea! Great recipe!

Delicous. I love that these use sweet potato. At first I wasn't sure what was making the bright orange colour, but duh, of course stuffed potatoes can be sweet ones too! I invite you to link up at www.breastfeedingmomsunite.com today for Vegetarian Foodie Fridays.

ReplyDeleteKendra, I LOVE Food Network magazine. It's one of my favourite cooking magazines. I don't have the October issue yet but these look scrumptious! I find baked potatoes boring unless I either stuff them or smother them in butter and sour cream, lol. And I called you Haden by mistake on my blog. Whoops....sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteWow, do these look good. Tasty combination and perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteThese potatoes look so good. MMMM-MM!
ReplyDeleteHaden, I'm jumping back in to tell you how jealous I am that you actually got to meet Patricia Wells. She is one of my cooking goddesses and I'd have been so thrilled I'd be tongue tied. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
