Stuffed Baby Potatoes Travis Rathbone

Think bacon-enriched twice-baked potatoes, transformed into a bite-sized snack.

Ingredients

Makes 20 potatoes

2 pounds (about 20) baby red potatoes
4 slices center-cut bacon
12 ounces ground turkey (93 percent lean)
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup whole milk
2/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar, divided
Vegetable oil cooking spray
  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let cool and break into small pieces. In same skillet, add turkey, salsa, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring to break meat into small crumbles, until turkey is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off and discard 1/4 inch from the top of each. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl; add milk to bowl and mash. Stir in turkey mixture, bacon and 1/3 cup cheddar; spoon evenly into potato skins. Top with remaining 1/3 cup cheddar. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray. Place stuffed potatoes on pan and bake until heated through, 15 to 17 minutes.

  • Bland. Not worth the work.

  • Just served these for the first time for my co-workers at a pot luck lunch. They were definitely the most well received dish. Many asked me for the recipe. The preparation is time consuming, but all-in-all, the results tell me that I will make them again.

  • Agree with kath94618, too fussy for the outcome. Essentially a different kind on potato skin recipe. Can't get my head around scooping out the potato then adding a ton of stuff and somehow getting it all back into the potato. doesn't work! However, I used the leftover filling and the odds of l/o cheese and a half egg to form a mixture then dropped the mixture like cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. Baked at 450 for about 15 minutes; simpler and just as tasty. Think it might work better placing the filling onto triscuits.

  • First off, don't heat the oven before you do all that other work. It's a waste of energy. I brought this to a 4th of July BBQ and it was a huge hit. It was also very tedious to scoop out the potatoes. Red-skinned potatoes have fragile skins. But, worth the effort. They are indeed yummy.
