Potato skins baked and filled with cheese, basil, and spinach. An Italian-style appetizer never tasted so delicious!

Ingredients

  • 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 1 small leek, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)
  • 2 cups spinach, lightly packed and chopped
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbs finely chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1 Tbs fresh chopped basil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pierce the potatoes and microwave for 20 minutes or until tender when gently squeezed. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the leeks and cook until very soft, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the spinach and cook for a few minutes more until the spinach is cooked and any liquid has been absorbed.
  • Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides, leaving a 1/2-inch rim of potatoes in the skins.
  • Mash the potatoes with the milk until smooth, then stir in the leeks, half the cheese, salt, and pepper. Lightly stir in the roasted peppers and basil.
  • Place the potato skins onto a baking sheet and fill with the potato mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes.
