Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Use a clean towel to dry them, ensuring they are moisture-free for optimal cooking.
-
-
Microwave the Potatoes: Prick the potatoes with a fork in several places to allow steam to escape during cooking. Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate, arranging them around the circumference, and microwave on high for 10 minutes. After microwaving, let them rest for an additional 10 minutes, which will help them continue cooking gently.
-
Create the Potato Cups: After the resting period, carefully slice off the top third of each potato, creating a small cap. Use a spoon to scoop out the inner flesh, leaving a sturdy wall around the sides and bottom to form a cup. Set the potato caps aside along with the scooped-out flesh.
-
Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, chopped parsley, grated cheese, salt, black pepper powder, boiled sweet corn, and finely chopped black olives. Mash the mixture well until it is well combined and creamy.
-
Stuff the Potatoes: Carefully spoon the filling back into each potato cup, ensuring they are generously packed. Place the filled potatoes back onto the microwave-safe plate.
-
Final Cooking: Microwave the stuffed potatoes for an additional 2 minutes on high to heat the filling through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Stuffed Jacket Potatoes hot, paired with a refreshing Cottage Cheese Dip with Pepper and Olives or your choice of dip to elevate the flavors.
