Twice-Baked Stuffed Potatoes with Creamy Green Pesto
Crispy potato skins, fluffy potatoes, and a creamy green pesto means is perfection with every bite. These potatoes make a great stand-alone lunch, but serve it with a bowl of tomato soup to round out dinner.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prick potatoes with a fork and rub the outside of each with olive oil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour, flipping half way through. Potatoes are done when the skins are crispy and a knife inserted in the middle meets no resistance.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and raise the temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides of each potato into a bowl, leaving about ¼ inch around the peel so the potato skin doesn’t collapse. Mix in the sour cream, buttery spread, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 cup arugula, 3 Tbsp. chopped scallions, 2 Tbsp. chives, garlic, and half of the lemon juice. Stir to blend in the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
Scoop out the potato mixture into the empty skins and return to the baking dish. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, make the pesto. Combine the remaining arugula, scallions, chives, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, lemon juice, and cashews in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides. If needed, add additional olive oil, until a sauce has formed.
When the potatoes are finished, drizzle the plate with pesto and top with a potato half.
