Makes: 6 potato shells
Ingredients
- • Potatoes, 4 large
- • Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
- • Hot Milk, 4 tablespoons
- • Melted butter, 3 tablespoons
- • Mozzarella cheese, ¾th cup grated
- • Sweet corns, ½ cup (preferably canned)
- • Seasonings (salt and pepper)
- • Dried Chives, 3 tablespoons (optional)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
- Wash your potatoes and massage them with olive oil. Once your potatoes are covered with oil, prick them using a fork multiple times. This is necessary for the steam to escape.
- Bake these potatoes in a preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Once your potatoes cool down a little after baking, cut them length wise and using a spoon, scoop out the insides of the potatoes. You will be left with potato skins that will act like shells for the filling.
- To prepare your filling, mash the potatoes you scooped out in the above step. Mix in melted butter, hot milk and mash again using a fork until the potatoes are nice and fluffy and everything is completely combined. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the mozzarella cheese to the mashed potatoes and reserve some to sprinkle at last. Add your seasoning, sweet corns and dried chives and mix again.
- Preheat your oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes again.
- Take the mashed potato filling and spoon it back into the potato skin shells until completely full. Spoon in a little extra filling on top for that mounted look. Top with the mozzarella cheese that you reserved and sprinkle dried chives.
- Bake the potatoes for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. And enjoy!
