When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can rival the satisfaction of baked potatoes. The combination of warm, fluffy potatoes and cool toppings creates a perfect harmony of textures and flavours. And with our plant-based twist, this classic dish becomes even more enticing.
One of the secrets to elevating the baked potato experience is the addition of cold plain Greek yogurt. When mixed with the hot potato, it creates a creamy and tangy contrast that is simply irresistible. The smoothness of the yogurt complements the starchy goodness of the potato, making each bite a delightful sensation.
The beauty of baked potatoes lies in their versatility. You can customize them with any toppings you desire. From fresh herbs to roasted vegetables, the options are endless. For a complete meal, consider adding your favourite protein. The beans we used in our Nacho recipe would be a fantastic addition, infusing the potatoes with extra flavour and nutrients.
These potatoes are not just a side dish; they can be the star of any gathering. Imagine hosting a party where guests can customize their own potatoes with a variety of toppings. It's a fun and interactive way to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
Now, let's dive into the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fingerling potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of Nafsika's Garden shredded mozzarella cheese style
- 1 container of Nafsika's Garden plain Greek yogurt style
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of sliced green onions
Instructions:
Begin by scrubbing the potatoes under running water and drying them thoroughly with a towel.
In a bowl, coat the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the potatoes in an air fryer at 400 degrees F or in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and, using a small spring knife, slice each potato halfway lengthwise. Give them a gentle squeeze to open them up.
Fill the opening with shredded mozzarella cheese and quickly return them to the air fryer to melt the cheese perfectly.
Once the cheese is melted, serve the potatoes immediately. Top each potato with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
It's time to savour the deliciousness of your baked potatoes. Indulge in the creamy yogurt, the gooey cheese, and the crispy potato skin. It's a combination that will leave you craving more.
Enjoy this plant-based twist on a classic dish and let your taste buds revel in the delightful flavours. Baked potatoes have never been so satisfying!
