Description

These Potatoes Roquefort are a decadent twist on the classic twice-baked potato. Starchy baking potatoes are roasted until tender, then scooped out and mashed with sharp, pungent Roquefort cheese and rich whipping cream for a luxuriously smooth filling. The mixture is stuffed back into the potato skins and topped with a savory blend of toasted breadcrumbs, pressed garlic, and melted butter. Baked again until golden and bubbly, these potatoes offer a wonderful contrast of creamy interior and crunchy topping. They make an elegant yet comforting side dish for holiday dinners or special weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Scrub potatoes thoroughly and rub skins with oil; bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until tender.
  2. Allow potatoes to cool until they can be handled.
  3. Slice the skin away from the top of each potato and scoop out the pulp, leaving the shells intact.
  4. Mash the potato pulp until smooth.
  5. Add Roquefort cheese to the mashed potatoes and beat with an electric mixer until fully blended.
  6. Gradually add whipping cream, stirring in salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stuff the potato shells with the creamy potato mixture.
  8. In a small bowl, combine toasted breadcrumbs, pressed garlic, and melted butter; mix well.
  9. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the stuffed potatoes.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 350ðF (175ðC) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned.
