Description

These Seafood Stuffed Potatoes are a comforting and elegant main dish that brings the briny sweetness of the sea together with earthy, buttery potatoes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C). Wash potatoes and prick skins with a fork. Bake directly on oven rack for 45-50 minutes until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  3. Add minced onion to the bacon fat and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add chopped clams to the skillet with the onions and sauté for 1 minute just until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Once potatoes are baked, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Split each potato lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skins to maintain structure.
  6. Place potato flesh in a large bowl. Mash with butter, milk, beaten egg, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
  7. Fold the cooked bacon, clam and onion mixture into the mashed potatoes until evenly combined.
  8. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it high.
  9. Top each stuffed potato with a generous sprinkle of buttered bread crumbs.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is hot.
