Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large russet potatoes
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Place the potatoes directly onto the oven rack or onto a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the Brie by cutting off the rind (optional) and gently slicing the cheese into small pieces.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes), just enough to handle them comfortably.
Slice each potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut entirely through to the bottom. Gently scoop out most of the potato flesh using a spoon, leaving a thin layer inside the skin to hold its shape.
In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, unsalted butter, heavy cream, half of the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture until creamy and smooth.
Fold in the Brie cheese pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potato mixture.
Fill the hollowed potato skins with the Brie and mashed potato mixture, creating a slight mound on top.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
