Twice-Baked Veggie Potatoes (WEM)
Recipes | March 27, 2016
*this recipe makes 4 snack-sized servings (or side dishes) OR two workout-earned meals.
*Yields 4 Portions (1 portion = 1 stuffed baked potato with all the fixings)
Ingredients:
4 large red potatoes (I liked using red for this recipe because they taste less starchy and more sweet, which go well with the veggies)
2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped small
2 tablespoon chopped red onion
1/2 orange bell pepper, chopped small
1 garlic clove, minced well
1 tablespoon grassfed butter
1 tablespoon sour cream
salt & pepper to taste
olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Wash and pat dry the potatoes, toss with olive oil and season with salt. Lay on a baking sheet lined with foil and let bake for 40 minutes (until easily pierced with a fork)
- With about 10 minutes left on the potatoes, take a small sauce pan over medium-high heat and drizzle on some olive oil. Add the chopped broccoli and let cook 2-3 minutes until bright green then add the bell pepper, onion and garlic. Season with salt & pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes (until slightly tender but still crisp).
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cook until you can touch (or use an oven mitt to handle).
- Slice off the top skin of the potato and scoop out the insides with a spoon to form small bowls. Add the insides of the potato to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Add butter, sour cream and salt/pepper to taste and mash well with a fork.
- Add the broccoli veggies to the potatoes and mix well then spoon back into the potato shells. Add to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until warm throughout and enjoy!

This sounds delicious! I love potatoes. I tried cutting them out of my diet and it was an epic fail. I grew up on potatoes and have had them many ways but not exactly this one. Look forward to trying it.
