I admit I didn't expect much from this recipe but it actually turned out really good. It was an entry by Erin Patil in the Queens of the Holidays cookbook.
It's not a quick recipe as you have to bake the potatoes, let them cool, and then bake them again. They aren't hard to make though so definitely give them a try. Very tasty little morsels. This makes twelve little stuffed potatoes. They're pretty rich. and not exactly diet food. I dare you to not want to eat them all.
This is my entry into this months Potato Ho event hosted by Evil Chef Mom. Be sure to check her blog for the Potato Ho update on March 19th.
GRUYERE-STUFFED NEW POTATOES
6 medium new potatoes, washed
Olive oil
2 green onions, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat potatoes with olive oil and bake for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and let cool.
When cool enough to handle, slice in half and carefully remove the pulp, taking care not to tear the skin. Set skins aside and place pulp in a bowl.
Cook green onions in butter over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add to the potato pulp. Add cheese, sour cream, coriander, salt and pepper; mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stuff mixture back into the potato skins and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve potatoes hot.
Oh yes! Potato stuffed with my favorite cheese...sign me up!

Peabody - I have to agree, potatoes and cheese are a great combination.
Blonde Duck - They actually weren't that much trouble, they just take a long time.
Louise, Chef Barbie - Try it, I know you'd like this.
Noble Pig - If it's your favorite cheese, you'll love this!
