Patate Ripiene (ligurian Style Stuffed Potatoes)
Patate Ripiene, or Ligurian Style Stuffed Potatoes, is a classic dish from the Ligurian cuisine. These delicious stuffed potatoes are filled with a flavorful mixture of ingredients and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling by mixing the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell.
- Mash the potato flesh and combine it with the filling mixture.
- Stuff the potato shells with the filling mixture and place them back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is golden and crispy.
- Serve the stuffed potatoes hot and enjoy!
