- 3 large baking potatoes like russet or Maris piper
- 2-3 tbs milk
- 1 tbs butter
- Olive oil
Filling:
- Potato flesh from baked potatoes
- 1/3 cup sliced roasted peppers drained
- 1/4 cup softened cream cheese or Goat cheese
- 2 tbs fresh basil chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
Scrub potatoes. Dry and pierce with a fork in several places. Rub with olive oil. Bake either in the oven or air fryer at 400F/200C for approximately 1 hour.
Let potatoes cool slightly so they can be handled. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl.
Add the butter, cream cheese/goat cheese and milk and mash them. Add the roasted peppers and basil. Stir to combine well. Add salt and pepper if necessary.
Divide the filling into 6 equal portions and fill the empty potato skins.
To complete in the air fryer--air fry filled potatoes at 400F/200C until browned on the top; about 5 minutes.
For conventional oven--place potatoes on a baking sheet and broil on high until golden on the top; about 2 minutes.
