Potato Boats, a Kid-Friendly Dinner


  • Author: Kelly Kinsey

Description

A recipe you can get the kids involved with!


Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes
  • Grated cheddar cheese (or whatever the family’s favorite kind is)
  • Sour cream
  • Chives, parsley, any available herbs
  • Pepperoni, ham, or other meats like shredded chicken
  • Fresh veggies (cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, etc)
  • Toasted nuts
  • Hot sauce or ranch dressing (optional)
  • Salt and Pepper


Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the number of potatoes you desire to make. Bake them at 450 for approximately 45 minutes, until fork tender.
  2. Cool the potatoes completely before slicing in half. Scoop out the majority of the potato. You can reserve this for mashed potatoes, potato soup or use filling as an extra topping!
  3. Top the “potato boats” with the cheese, and bake again on 350, for about 5 minutes. At that point you can top the boots with any favorite pantry ingredients or fresh ingredients you have on hand!
