Stuffed Potatoes

Yesterday at an Italian Restaurant I had ordered stuffed baked potatoes and found them very tasty.  My wife tried to make something similar to it at home and I think it turned out really well, much better than the ones I had at the restaurant. Try them yourselves and do let me know how you feel about it.

Ingredients

4 medium sized potatoes cut in half (don’t peel)

1 tablespoon finely chopped onions

1 tablespoon finely chopped tomatoes (without seeds)

1 tablespoon finely chopped green capsicum

½ cup mozzarella cheese

½ tablespoon tomato ketchup

½ teaspoon pepper powder

2 teaspoon butter

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon oregano

2 teaspoon olive oil

Method

Put the potatoes in a plastic bag and keep it in a microwave.

Microwave the potatoes for about 5 minutes.

Take the potatoes out of the microwave.

Scoop out the potatoes from the center so that a thick outer shell remains.

(These scooped-out potato mash can be used for making Aloo Parantha)

On the skin (outer shell) of the scooped-out potatoes, rub butter, salt and pepper.

Apply butter and  tomato ketchup inside the scooped potatoes.

Now arrange small slices of mozzarella cheese over the tomato ketchup.

Mix chopped onion, tomatoes and capsicum and fill it in the scooped potatoes.

Sprinkle oregano and salt over the potatoes.

Take the remaining mozzarella cheese, grate it and sprinkle over potatoes.

Pour little olive oil over the potatoes.

Microwave on high power for 7-8 minutes.

Serve while hot as a starter or a snack.
