SPINACH-STUFFED BAKED POTATOES



Spinach-Stuffed Baked Potatoes image

I just made this up, looking for a way to make a stuffed baked potato. All 3 teens liked it! I'm sure others can perfect it and I am anxious to hear how others will change my made-up recipe. We all love it and have had it twice in 2 weeks so far.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 baking potatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
¼ teaspoon sea salt, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
5 Roma tomatoes, diced, or more to taste
1 ½ cups diced mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh spinach, large stems removed
6 leaves fresh basil, chopped, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 slices cooked turkey bacon, diced
6 slices low-fat provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Prick potatoes several times with a fork. Rub potatoes with olive oil to coat; sprinkle with sea salt. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are baking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and mushrooms; cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add spinach and basil; cook until spinach begins to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any cooking liquid from the skillet. Add turkey bacon; mix to combine.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven. Keep oven on. Allow potatoes to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the cooked potato, reserving it for another use.
  • Place potato halves back onto the aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Cover each potato half with a slice of cheese and top with the spinach mixture.
  • Bake until the potatoes and filling are hot, and the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can artichoke heart, drained and roughly chopped
3 ½ cups frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
8 oz cream cheese, cubed, room temperature
4 oz sour cream
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Rub the potatoes all over with the canola oil and season on all sides with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Working the batches if needed, nestle the potatoes inside of the air fryer basket and set the timer for 45 minutes. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes have crispy skin and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, make the spinach and artichoke dip: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until the butter begins to bubble. Add the onion, garlic, remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach and cook until the spinach is well incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and sour cream until fully incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese and stir until just combined and melted, 1-2 minutes more.
  • Using tongs, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and cut in half lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the insides of the potatoes. Top each potato with a heaping ½ cup of the spinach and artichoke dip, then top each with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
  • Working in batches of 2-4 at a time, set the filled potato halves in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, until the edges of the potato are browned and the mozzarella is melted and browning.
  • Enjoy!
