STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
Submitted by editorkevin on 14 July 2009 - 3:32pm
I found this recipe in the old Amish Cook archives this morning. In the instructions she says to run something through a "ricer." I'm not sure what this is, but I am sure one of you knows. Otherwise, this sounds delicious!
5 large potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 /2 teaspoon salt
1/ 8 teaspoon pepper
1 /2 cup cream
1 egg white, beaten
Dash of paprika
Bake the potatoes in a hot oven (450 degrees) for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and pass through a ricer. Add butter, salt, pepper, cream, and whip until fluffy. Beat egg white until very stiff and fold into mixture. Pile into shell. Dust with paprika and return to the oven until golden brown. Serves 6.

How do I print just the recipes? I don`t see a "print" icon.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
I copy and paste them into a document on my computer (like Word, Wordpad, or Wordperfect...whatever you would use to type a letter on), and print them that way.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
my husband thinks I am lazy when I bake potatos. He doesn't like peeling on the potato. He even peels the little red ones when we have peas/green beans and potato. if I fry left over cooked ones when I have cooked too many for like for potato salad. He has something to say. I told him the peeling has more good stuff for your heath . He doesn't buy that.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
My husband also peels his baked potato before eating it. Personally, I sort of like the crispy skin. Thankfully, he will eat the skin on the very thin-skinned red and yellow potatoes. I will probably buy some this week...we are going camping, and potato packets are always good!
We went to someone's house for dinner the other night, and they had a really wonderful potato salad. She actually bought it from Walmart's deli! It is called "Loaded Baked Potato Salad" and had all of the fixin's for a baked potato in it. I think I found a recipe that is very close to what it was:
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
3 lbs. red potatoes, diced
2-3 TBS salt
pepper, to taste
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside to cool. Combine mayo and sour cream in a large bowl. Add pepper, onion, cheese and bacon and mix together. Add cooked potatoes and stir until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Luv, just made this the way you stated and it was really good.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
I made it the other night, and it was rather tasty!!
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
that sounds like an awesome recipe!!! Where are you going camping?
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
We will probably go to a park/campground that is nearby in Farmington, IA www.indianlakepark.com I just saw on their website that the 3rd weekend of the month is free tent-camping, so that is just an added bonus! They have a nice playground area and lake. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can do it this time. My husband is going to start pouring the new patio/driveway soon, so I am sure the weekends are going to get even busier with household chores...they never end!
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
I LOVE my potato ricer. It looks like a giant garlic-press. When I make mashed potatoes, I just rice the potatoes back into the pot and add in the milk, butter (and usually garlic and cheese :-) and they do not have a speck of lump to be found!
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
Yep! It looks and acts like a large garlic press. Riced potatoes have no lumps and work well in recipes that require a light and fluffy mashed potato.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
There is a device called a potato ricer, when you put the potato thur it the potatoes look like rice, to me it makes the potatoes a little dry, but that is just me. I like baked potatoes with lots of butter, yum.
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
Ah, but if you add enough butter, cheese, etc, they are perfect :) I only use my ricer for stuffed baked potatoes or any other fancy casserole-type dish that lumps would "spoil"
Re: STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
Sometimes, I get lazy and rice boiled potatoes with the skins still on. The skin will just stick to the bottom of the ricer, and I remove it after each potato. I also like to use it to mash boiled sweet potatoes. It keeps some of the stringy fibers out of the finished product.
This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Oxo-Good-Grips-Potato-Ricer/dp/B00004OCJQ
