Ingredients

  • 600 grams Potatoes New
  • to taste Salt { optional}
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons onions finely chopped
  • 100 grams Broccoli finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Cheddar cheese grated
  • 25 grams Goat Cheese
  • optional Red chili flakes

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly so as all dirt is off and some skin is still left behind.
  • Cut Potatoes into half lengthwise.
  • Heat a big pan of water with salt {I skip salt because we follow low salt diet in our regular meals at home}. Drop potatoes one by one very carefully to protect your hands from hot water.
  • Cook these potatoes for 8 minutes if they are medium sized or l0 minutes if they are little bigger.
  • With the help of slotted spoon take out potatoes from hot water and allow them to cool a bit before scooping out flesh with a scooper.
  • Reserve the flesh that came out of potatoes. Spray potatoes with some lite oil or coat them with minimal amount of oil if spray is not available.
  • Pre heat oven at 180C and place these scooped out potatoes in baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes till they are light brown.
  • While potatoes are baking in oven, make filling by heating 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped onions and chopped scooped out flesh of potatoes. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add finely chopped broccoli and cover and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Season with herbs of your choice I used The urban Spice Mexican seasoning mix and some smoked sea salt.
  • Take out this filling in a bowl, if you are using egg break egg inside bowl and sprinkle some low fat cheddar cheese. If you like it hot like we do, add some chilli flakes too.
  • Mix everything nicely and keep aside.
  • Take out potatoes from the oven, with a spoon fill inside of the potatoes with filling we prepared and top it up with some goat cheese.
  • Put this tray back inside the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes at 200C.
  • Outer skin of potatoes will become golden brown and if you are using egg it will be perfectly set.
