Potatoes from our friends Scott and Katie's garden and garlic and broccoli from the Farmers Market
as well as
Moosewood Restaurant's Low-Fat Favorites Cookbook
Ingredients:
- 4 baking potatoes
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (I used a heaping 1/4 teaspoon and still didn't find it spicy at all)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 bunch broccoli or broccoli rabe, minced (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup water
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 pitted black olives, sliced (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and bake, cut side down, on a baking sheet for about 45 minutes, until soft. Remove from the oven.
- Sauté the garlic and pepper flakes in the oil for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and water, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- When the potato halves are cool, scoop out the centers, leaving 1/4 inch of pulp on the skin. Mash the scooped-out potato pulp and stir it into the stuffing. Add salt and pepper.
- Refill the potato skins and bake for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sliced olives and serve.

Notes: Very easy to make. While these bake for a while, prep and cleanup are very easy. I added about 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan into the mixture before stuffing the potatoes. What can I say, I love cheese!

I made a variation on these a few months ago, but I definitely want to try this recipe because it's healthier and spicier than mine was!
I'm so glad you're back to blogging the Amazing Race! Even though I can't watch it, it's awesome to see what you make.
Garlic, broccoli, potatoes = perfect!
I love this! I've never really seen a recipe for stuffed baked potatoes that's healthy like this. It looks fantastic!
I try to eat vegetarian at least once or twice a week - I'll definitely make these potatoes. Thanks!
Yum - I'm not a big fan of potatoes in general, but I'm a fan of doing fun things with potatoes :)
Great meal idea!
You always have the best recipes! I was just thinking recently about how I want to cook w/ potatoes more now that it's fall. I love the idea of stuffing these with broccoli, too, to make them healthier. They still look super satisfying.
