👩🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Cook the potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cook them whole (with skin) in salted water for 20–25 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, you can bake them. -
Prepare the filling:
Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in a bit of oil. Add the shredded chicken and spices. Stir in the cream and cook over low heat until the mixture is creamy. -
Stuff the potatoes:
Once cooled, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the inside. Mix the scooped-out potato with the chicken filling to make it juicier. -
Gratinate (bake):
Fill the potato halves with the mixture, sprinkle grated cheese on top, and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve these stuffed potatoes with a fresh salad, rice, or a light yogurt-lemon sauce. They can also be served on their own as a complete dinner.
