🍽️ Recipe Instructions:
-
Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked corned beef (chopped or shredded), sauerkraut, Swiss cheese (grated), green onions (chopped), garlic clove (minced), and caraway seed. Optionally, you can add a hint of horseradish for an extra kick.
-
Prepare the Potato Shells: Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides of the potatoes, leaving the shells intact. Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a separate bowl.
-
Make the Potato Mixture: Mash the scooped-out potato flesh with cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Then, stir this mashed potato mixture into the corned beef mixture until well combined.
-
Fill the Potato Shells: Spoon the mashed potato and corned beef mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it generously.
-
Top and Bake: Sprinkle the filled potato halves with grated Parmesan cheese and paprika for an extra burst of flavor and color. Place the filled potato halves back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven.
-
Bake Until Heated Through: Bake the filled potato halves for an additional 25 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Reuben Baked Potatoes from the oven and serve them hot. These flavorful and hearty potatoes are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends and family.
