The Lucky Irish Potato

It's St. Patrick's Day tomorrow - list the three words that first jump into your head...go! Mine are green, Guinness, and ...potatoes. Okay, the potato part is a little bit of a stretch but heh, my mind works in mysterious ways. I'm going to let you in on what that silly mind of mine came up with for a tasty St. Patty's Day side dish worth writing to Ireland about...a twist on the classic stuffed (aka twice baked) potatoes: The Lucky Irish Potato.  No, I'm not Irish, but you can kiss me anyway for sharing this tasty dish that makes it easy to be green.

Lucky Irish Potatoes
(for a dozen)

6 large baking potatoes
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, wash and roughly chop one bunch of kale. Once steamed, put it in a processor with 3 cloves of garlic. Pulse until fairly smooth.

Once the potatoes are soft, cut them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out contents into the processor.

Also add:

6 Tbsp melted butter
6 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
9 Tbsp Sourcream
3 Tbsp Fines Herbes Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste

Beat together and stuff into the potato skins.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.



My little leprechaun thought they
were pretty tasty taters!
