Garlic Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Zesty and vibrant, these Garlic Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes are my go-to side dish for holiday gatherings and cozy weeknight dinners alike. I first made them for a last-minute Friendsgiving potluck years ago, and now they’re requested at every family event—they’re that good! There’s something magical about how the sweet potatoes caramelize while soaking up all those garlicky, herby flavors.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 pounds of vibrant orange sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 3 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil
– 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon of fragrant dried rosemary
– 1 tablespoon of aromatic dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt
– ½ teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vibrant orange sweet potato cubes, rich extra virgin olive oil, minced fresh garlic, fragrant dried rosemary, aromatic dried thyme, coarse kosher salt, and finely ground black pepper.
3. Toss everything together thoroughly until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. Tip: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld—this enhances the herb infusion.
4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded. Tip: Crowding causes steaming instead of roasting, so use two sheets if needed for crispier edges.
5. Roast in the preheated oven at 425°F for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip each sweet potato cube. Tip: Flipping ensures even caramelization and prevents burning on one side.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the edges are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Vibrantly golden and aromatic, these sweet potatoes emerge with a perfect balance of crispy exteriors and creamy, tender centers. I love serving them alongside roasted chicken or tossing them into a hearty grain bowl for a pop of color and flavor—they’re versatile enough to steal the show at any meal!
Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Turkey Bacon
Cozying up with a warm bowl of soup is my favorite way to unwind after a busy day, and this Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Turkey Bacon has become a cherished staple in my kitchen. It’s the perfect blend of creamy comfort and savory satisfaction, reminding me of chilly evenings spent with family. I love how the turkey bacon adds a smoky depth without being overly heavy, making it a dish I feel good about serving any night of the week.
Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
– 6 slices of smoky turkey bacon
– 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
– 3 cloves of aromatic garlic, minced
– 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
– 4 cups of rich chicken broth
– 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
– 2 cups of heavy cream
– 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup of sour cream
– 2 tablespoons of fresh chives, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Place 6 slices of smoky turkey bacon in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, cooking for 5-7 minutes until crisp and browned, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat in the pot.
2. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot with the reserved fat, melting it over medium heat until foamy, about 1 minute.
3. Stir in 1 large finely diced yellow onion, cooking for 5 minutes until translucent and softened.
4. Add 3 cloves of minced aromatic garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour over the onion mixture, whisking constantly for 2 minutes to form a smooth roux and cook out the raw flour taste—this is key for a lump-free soup.
6. Gradually pour in 4 cups of rich chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent clumps, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
7. Add 4 large peeled and cubed russet potatoes to the pot, reducing the heat to medium-low, covering with a lid, and simmering for 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
8. Use a potato masher to gently crush about half of the potatoes directly in the pot, leaving some chunks for texture—this creates a creamy base without needing to blend.
9. Stir in 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of sour cream, cooking over low heat for 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through, avoiding a boil to prevent curdling.
10. Crumble the reserved crispy turkey bacon into the soup, then season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
11. Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld—this resting time makes a noticeable difference in depth.
12. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives.
Mouthwatering and velvety, this soup boasts a rich, creamy texture with tender potato chunks and a smoky kick from the turkey bacon. The sharp cheddar adds a tangy contrast that melts beautifully into every spoonful. For a fun twist, serve it in hollowed-out bread bowls or top with extra crispy bacon and a dollop of sour cream for an indulgent finish.

5. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until they are fork-tender and the skins are lightly golden.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes until safe to handle.
7. While the potatoes cool, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil from the bowl.
8. Sauté 1 clove of fresh garlic, minced, in the skillet for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
9. Add 1 cup of fresh baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped, to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
10. Transfer the sautéed spinach and garlic to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly for 2 minutes.
11. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half horizontally using a sharp knife.
12. Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the center of each potato half, leaving a 1/4-inch shell, and place the scooped potato flesh into the bowl with the spinach.
13. Add 1/2 cup of crumbled tangy feta cheese, 1/4 cup of finely grated sharp Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to the bowl with the potato flesh and spinach.

17. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
18. Serve immediately while warm.
Soft and creamy on the inside with a hint of crispness from the roasted skins, these potatoes offer a delightful contrast in textures. The savory blend of feta and spinach shines through, making them a standout at any gathering—try pairing them with a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra tangy twist or serving them alongside grilled meats for a hearty meal.
Vegan Scalloped Potatoes with Cashew Cream
Just in time for the holidays, I found myself craving that classic comfort food—creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes—but wanted a plant-based version that didn’t skimp on richness.

Mediterranean Potato Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Back when I was living in a tiny apartment with a kitchen the size of a closet, I discovered that the most satisfying meals often came from simple, fresh ingredients tossed together with a killer dressing. This Mediterranean Potato Salad is one of those recipes that became a weekly staple—it’s the perfect make-ahead lunch that somehow tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have really gotten to know each other.
Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 pounds of waxy baby potatoes, halved
– 1/4 cup of rich extra virgin olive oil, divided
– 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, plus more for seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
– 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice (from about 2 juicy lemons)
– 1/4 cup of smooth, creamy tahini
– 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
– 1/4 cup of cold water
– 1 English cucumber, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
– 1 pint of sweet cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
– 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
– 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the rich extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and the edges are golden brown and crispy.
4. While the potatoes roast, make the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup of smooth, creamy tahini, and 1 finely minced clove of garlic until smooth.
5. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of cold water until the dressing reaches a pourable, creamy consistency—this prevents it from seizing up.
6. In a large serving bowl, combine the diced English cucumber, halved sweet cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped fresh parsley, and roughly chopped fresh mint leaves.
7. Once the potatoes are done roasting, let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet to avoid wilting the herbs when mixed.
8. Add the slightly cooled roasted potatoes to the serving bowl with the vegetables and herbs.
9. Pour the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
10. Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate it for up to 2 days for a more intense taste.
Gently creamy from the tahini and bright with lemon, this salad has a wonderful contrast of textures—soft potatoes, crisp cucumber, and juicy tomatoes all held together by that tangy dressing. I love scooping it onto toasted pita or serving it alongside grilled chicken for a complete meal that feels both wholesome and indulgent.

– 1/4 cup of Frank’s RedHot sauce, for that classic buffalo tang
– 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix, for creamy herb flavor
– 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, finely ground
– 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, for a subtle smoky depth
– 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, for seasoning
– 1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese, for garnish (optional)
– 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped chives, for a bright finish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil until evenly coated, which helps them crisp up nicely in the oven.
3. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap so they roast evenly.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through with a spatula to promote browning on both sides.
5. While the potatoes roast, whisk together the melted butter, Frank’s RedHot sauce, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Tip: Use a silicone brush to coat the wedges evenly with the buffalo ranch mixture after roasting for maximum flavor absorption.
7. Remove the wedges from the oven and brush them generously with the buffalo ranch mixture, making sure to cover all surfaces.
8. Return the wedges to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until they’re crispy and golden brown with a slight char on the edges.
9. Tip: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
10. Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and fresh chopped chives for garnish.
11. Tip: Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the best texture, as the wedges can soften if left out too long.
Vividly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these wedges pack a punch with that spicy buffalo heat mellowed by the creamy ranch undertones—they’re so addictive, I often double the batch for leftovers. I love pairing them with a cool celery stick dip or piling them high on a platter for parties, where they disappear faster than I can make them!
Quinoa-Stuffed Mini Potatoes with Pesto
Crafting the perfect appetizer for holiday gatherings always feels like a delicious challenge, and these quinoa-stuffed mini potatoes with pesto have become my go-to solution—they’re elegant enough to impress guests yet simple enough that I can whip them up without stressing over the stove. I first stumbled upon this idea when I had leftover quinoa and a craving for something cozy but vibrant, and now they’re a staple in my kitchen for their delightful blend of textures and flavors. Trust me, once you try these bite-sized wonders, you’ll be adding them to your own repertoire for every festive occasion.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 pound of petite mini potatoes, washed and patted dry
– 1 cup of fluffy cooked quinoa, cooled to room temperature
– 1/2 cup of creamy ricotta cheese
– 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup of vibrant homemade or store-bought basil pesto
– 2 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon of coarse sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the washed and patted dry mini potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Drizzle the rich extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt and finely ground black pepper, tossing gently to coat evenly.
4. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and the skins are lightly golden—this ensures a crisp exterior that holds the filling well.
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes until safe to handle.
6. While the potatoes cool, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the fluffy cooked quinoa, creamy ricotta cheese, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and vibrant basil pesto, stirring until fully incorporated for a uniform mixture.
7. Carefully slice each roasted mini potato in half horizontally, using a small spoon to scoop out a bit of the center to create a hollow—this tip prevents overstuffing and keeps them neat.
8. Fill each potato half generously with the quinoa-pesto mixture, pressing lightly to pack it in without breaking the potato.
9. Return the stuffed potatoes to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes at 400°F, just until the filling is warmed through and slightly set.
10. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Out of the oven, these quinoa-stuffed mini potatoes offer a delightful contrast: the crisp potato skins give way to a creamy, herbaceous filling that’s both satisfying and light. I love how the pesto infuses every bite with a fresh, garlicky punch, making them perfect for pairing with a simple salad or as a standout appetizer on a festive platter. For a creative twist, try drizzling them with a balsamic glaze or topping with extra Parmesan just before serving—they’re versatile enough to adapt to any menu or mood.
One-Pan Rosemary Garlic Fingerling Potatoes
Diving into holiday cooking always reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen, where simple ingredients transformed into something magical. These One-Pan Rosemary Garlic Fingerling Potatoes are my go‑to side—they’re fuss‑free, packed with flavor, and leave me with just one pan to wash. I love how the rosemary scent fills the house, making even a busy weeknight feel special.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 1.5 pounds of petite fingerling potatoes, scrubbed clean
– 3 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil
– 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh rosemary
– 1 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt
– ½ teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the scrubbed fingerling potatoes with the rich extra virgin olive oil, tossing until each potato is evenly coated.
3. Add the minced fresh garlic, finely chopped fresh rosemary, coarse kosher salt, and finely ground black pepper to the bowl, stirring gently to distribute the seasonings.
4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded to allow for even roasting.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through with a spatula until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
My favorite tip is to give the potatoes a gentle press with a fork after roasting—if they’re tender inside, they’re perfect. Marvel at how these potatoes emerge with a crispy exterior that gives way to a creamy, buttery center, infused with the aromatic punch of garlic and rosemary. They’re fantastic alongside a roast chicken or tossed into a salad for a hearty twist, and I often double the batch because they disappear fast!
Baked Potato Skins with Jalapeño Greek Yogurt
Kicking off the holiday season always makes me crave something cozy yet zesty to share with friends—these baked potato skins with jalapeño Greek yogurt are my go-to. I love how they combine the comforting warmth of potatoes with a fresh, spicy kick, perfect for those casual get-togethers where everyone gathers around the kitchen island. Honestly, I started making these years ago after a potluck mishap, and they’ve been a staple ever since, with my secret being to bake the potatoes until they’re just shy of falling apart for that ideal crispy skin.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean with firm, earthy skins
– 2 tablespoons rich extra virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, for a satisfying crunch
– 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated for melty goodness
– 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced for a fresh, pungent bite
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, creamy and tangy
– 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, finely diced with seeds removed for controlled heat
– 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, for a subtle savory depth
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pierce each scrubbed russet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
3. Rub the potatoes all over with 1 tablespoon of rich extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with 1/2 teaspoon of coarse sea salt.
4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the skins are crispy and a knife inserts easily into the centers.
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes until safe to handle—this helps the skins firm up for easier scooping.
6. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out most of the fluffy interior, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
7. Brush the inside of each potato skin with the remaining 1 tablespoon of rich extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of coarse sea salt.
8. Return the skins to the baking sheet, cut-side up, and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
9. While the skins bake, in a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy and tangy plain Greek yogurt, 1 finely diced fresh jalapeño pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder; stir until well mixed.
10. Remove the baked skins from the oven and immediately top each with freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt from the residual heat.
11. Sprinkle each skin with crumbled thick-cut bacon and thinly sliced green onions.
12. Dollop a generous spoonful of the jalapeño Greek yogurt mixture onto each skin just before serving.
Heavenly bites await with these skins—the contrast between the crispy, salty potato shells and the cool, spicy yogurt is absolutely addictive. I often serve them alongside a fresh salad or as a game-day snack, and for a fun twist, try adding a drizzle of hot sauce or swapping in different cheeses like pepper jack. They’re always a hit because that creamy jalapeño kick cuts through the richness perfectly, making every bite a delightful balance of textures and flavors.
Potato and Leek Soup with Almond Milk
A cozy bowl of soup is my ultimate comfort food, especially during the chilly holiday season when I crave something simple yet deeply satisfying. I remember my grandmother always had a pot simmering on the stove, and this potato and leek soup with almond milk is my modern, creamy twist on those warm memories—it’s become my go-to for a quick, nourishing lunch that feels like a hug from the inside.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil
– 3 large, fresh leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
– 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
– 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth
– 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
– 2 cloves of aromatic garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
– ½ teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
2. Add 3 large, fresh leeks, thinly sliced, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
3. Stir in 2 cloves of aromatic garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute until golden and aromatic—this builds a flavorful base.
4. Tip: For extra depth, let the leeks and garlic caramelize slightly without burning by adjusting the heat to medium-low if needed.
5. Add 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced, and 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth to the pot.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
7. Tip: To check doneness, pierce a potato cube with a fork; it should slide off easily without resistance.
8. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend on high speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
9. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over low heat.
10. Season with 1 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper and ½ teaspoon of sea salt, stirring for 2 minutes until fully incorporated and heated through.
11. Tip: For a silkier texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending to remove any fibrous bits.
12. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Ultimately, this soup boasts a velvety, lush texture from the blended potatoes and a subtle sweetness from the leeks, balanced by the nutty undertones of almond milk. I love garnishing it with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an elegant touch, or pairing it with crusty bread for a hearty, complete meal that warms you right up.

Avocado Stuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes
Finally, after years of trying to make my holiday side dishes feel special without spending hours in the kitchen, I’ve landed on this absolute winner. It’s the kind of recipe that looks impressive but is secretly simple, born from my habit of always having a few too many avocados and russet potatoes on hand. Let’s get these creamy, dreamy spuds in the oven.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 80 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
– 2 tablespoons rich extra virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
– 2 perfectly ripe Hass avocados
– 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
– 1/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
– 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Rub the 4 scrubbed russet potatoes all over with the 2 tablespoons of rich extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the fine sea salt.
3. Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack with a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. (Tip: Pricking them with a fork first prevents steam buildup).
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a knife inserts easily into the center.
5. Carefully remove the potatoes and let them cool just enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
6. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop the fluffy flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell intact.
7. To the bowl, add the flesh of the 2 perfectly ripe Hass avocados, 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper.
8. Mash and stir everything together with a fork until well combined but still slightly chunky. (Tip: The lime juice keeps the avocado vibrant green).
9. Evenly divide the creamy avocado-potato mixture back into the 8 potato skin shells, mounding it slightly.
10. Arrange the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the cheese is melted. (Tip: For extra crunch, broil for the final 2-3 minutes, watching closely).
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Gorgeously creamy from the avocado and fluffy potato, these have a wonderful tang from the lime and sour cream, balanced by the smoky paprika. The twice-baked method gives the skins an irresistible, sturdy crispness. I love serving them topped with a dollop of extra sour cream and a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits for a truly decadent bite.
