Note

For best results, use large russet or baking potatoes which have thin skins that crisp up well.

If you don't have a food processor, a potato masher or fork works well for mashing the tofu and potato mixture, though it may be slightly less smooth.

Ensure the potatoes are fully baked before scooping out the flesh. If using leftover baked potatoes, allow them to cool slightly before handling.

You can add a splash of nutritional yeast to the tofu mixture for a cheesy flavor note.

Leftover stuffed potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
