Description

Creamy baked potatoes overflowing with sautéed kale, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. Topped with Parmesan for a hearty side dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 medium-large potatoes (washed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml) olive oil
  • 0.5 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 0.5 cups (70 g) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup (30 g) shredded fresh kale
  • 1 cup (60 g) thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tsp garlic salt (or regular salt), divided
  • 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
  • 0.5 cups (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Pierce each potato with a fork; bake directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes, or until soft.
  2. Prepare the vegetable filling: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms; sauté 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Season with 1 tsp salt. Add sliced Brussels sprouts; cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and shredded kale; sauté 1-2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant and kale is wilted. Remove from heat.
  3. Scoop out and mash the potatoes: Once baked, let potatoes cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer. Place scooped potatoes in the skillet with vegetables. Add Greek yogurt and remaining 1 tsp salt. Mash lightly with the back of a spoon. Season with black pepper.
  4. Fill the potato skins and bake again: Line a baking sheet. Arrange potato skins on the baking sheet and fill with potato-vegetable mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Finish baking: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For easier scooping, let the baked potatoes cool completely before handling.
  • Substitute other hearty greens like chard or spinach for the kale.
  • To make ahead, prepare the vegetable filling and store separately; assemble and bake just before serving.
