1. Prepare the Potatoes
   Begin by boiling the potatoes in salted water for about 30 minutes, until they are tender but still firm. Once cooked, remove them from the water and allow them to cool slightly. Without peeling, cut the top off each potato and scoop out the flesh using a spoon or a melon baller, leaving about 1 cm of the potato along the sides to form a shell. Set aside the scooped-out potato flesh for later use.

2. Grate the Grana Padano
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the hollowed potatoes and sprinkle the inner cavities with 20g of grated Grana Padano DOP. Drizzle the potatoes with a small amount of olive oil.

3. Prepare the Cabbage and Potato Mixture
   Finely slice the red cabbage and set it aside. Thinly slice the onion and combine it with the cabbage in a mixing bowl. Add the scooped-out potato flesh to the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and rosemary, and toss to combine thoroughly. Heat this mixture in a pan with a little olive oil, cooking it for about 10 minutes, stirring often until tender.

4. Prepare the Apple and Orange Mixture
   While the cabbage mixture is cooking, thinly slice the apples and peel the orange. Cut the orange into segments, removing any seeds or membranes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, orange segments, and the cooked cabbage-potato mixture. Season with freshly ground Sichuan pepper and mix well.

5. Assemble the Dish
   Once the filling is ready, gently stir in the remaining scooped potato flesh and 50g of Grana Padano DOP shavings. Spoon this flavorful filling into the hollowed-out potatoes, pressing down gently to ensure the mixture is packed.

6. Bake the Potatoes
   Place the stuffed potatoes back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, just until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.

7. Serve and Enjoy
   Once cooked, serve the roasted potatoes immediately, garnished with additional Grana Padano shavings. Enjoy this delightful side dish with any main course of your choice.

These Roasted Potatoes with Apples, Oranges, and Grana Padano make for a unique, flavorful side that balances the rich, creamy Grana Padano with the sweet, tangy fruits and hearty cabbage. Perfect for any occasion, they offer a creative twist on the classic roasted potato.
