Go Green Stuffed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 8 medium red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 large Lacinato kale leaves, , stems removed, leaves finely chopped (about 1½ cups)
- 1½ cups (128 g) bite-sized broccoli florets
- ¼ cup (60 mL) water
- 3 medium scallions, , finely chopped (white and green parts)
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
- Kosher or fine sea salt, , to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, , to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Arrange the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Bake the potatoes until tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes bake, place the kale, broccoli, and water in a medium pot set over medium-high heat. Bring to a rapid simmer and then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are bright green and the water is almost entirely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer the steamed vegetables to a large mixing bowl, leaving any excess water behind. Add the scallions and garlic powder.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out the inside of each potato, leaving a ¼-inch thick border around the edge. Add the scooped out potato flesh and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the vegetables. Use a potato masher to work the mixture into a chunky mash. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the filling evenly among the hollowed out potato halves. Arrange in a baking dish and cover. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes to heat through.
