Better Than a Once Baked Potato with Some Stuff Mashed In – Episode 43
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
The reliable potato makes an appearance on this week’s episode (#43 if you’re counting). In a slight twist on a traditional Twice Baked Potato, I’ve added things like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. I used russets. They’re a little bit starchier, so are great for something like this.
I served the potatoes with some German sausage, a Simple Tomato Salad, and some Roasted Broccoli. They would also be great alongside a Roast Chicken, Roast Beef, Pork Chops… Or as the main event: You could cook, then mix in some ground meat, or tempeh, Â and serve it with a simple salad on the side. If you made Chili this week, it would be amazing over top of the potatoes! And, here’s an idea:Â If you have leftover filling, you could make it into potato pancakes, or a hash with scrambled eggs.
Now watch the episode, please. And enjoy. And, come back on Friday. I want to tell you about last weekend. 😉
Happy Eating!

- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 C broccoli (about 1 head), chopped or diced
- 1 carrot, grated

- 2 cloves roasted garlic (or 1 t garlic powder, or both!!)

- 1/2 t onion powder
- 1/2 t chili powder
- 1/4 C Greek yogurt

- Pre-heat oven to 350F. Brush cut side of potatoes with 1 t olive oil, sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes (or until a fork can be easily inserted into potato).
- In last 10 minutes of potatoes’ baking time, heat a skillet; add 1 T olive oil. Once it’s hot, add veggies (all but tomatoes) and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove potatoes from oven. Cut around edge, leaving a 1/4″ wall, and scrape out the middle into a bowl (be careful not to pierce the skin). Add veggie mixture, seasonings, yogurt, tomatoes, 1/2 C cheese, 2 T oil. Mash together. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Fill skins with potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven and bake 10 minutes (or until cheese is melted).
