Twice-Baked Green Pota<strong>to</strong>es<br />

My sister-in-law Kelli makes this recipe, and even her vegetable-hating 3-year-old will eat it, even though she<br />

won’t eat broccoli. Of course, I’ve added even more greens.<br />

8 large pota<strong>to</strong>es<br />

1 large head broccoli<br />

4 C spinach<br />

8 green onions, diced (including the long green part)<br />

¼ C grated Parmesan cheese<br />

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil<br />

1½ tsp. sea salt<br />

freshly ground pepper <strong>to</strong> taste<br />

Bake foil-wrapped pota<strong>to</strong>es at 350° for one hour, then let cool enough <strong>to</strong> handle the pota<strong>to</strong>es. Chop the broccoli<br />

in<strong>to</strong> small pieces and steam for 15 min., adding the spinach for the last 5 min. of steaming. Cut each pota<strong>to</strong> in<br />

half and scoop out the pota<strong>to</strong> “guts,” being careful <strong>to</strong> leave the skin intact with about ¼" of pota<strong>to</strong> all the way<br />

around, <strong>to</strong> keep it firm <strong>to</strong> use later. Set the skins aside.<br />

Use a hand mixer <strong>to</strong> blend until smooth the pota<strong>to</strong> “guts,” steamed broccoli, onions, spinach, Parmesan, olive<br />

oil, and salt and pepper. Add a bit of water if the mixture is <strong>to</strong>o thick <strong>to</strong> blend.<br />

Scoop the mixture back in<strong>to</strong> the pota<strong>to</strong> skins. Optionally sprinkle with additional Parmesan, then bake at 350°<br />

for 15-20 min. Serve immediately.<br />
