Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium red potatoes
- 1 cup cooked salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the red potatoes clean and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet and lightly coat them with olive oil.
Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the salmon filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked salmon, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly until safe to handle. Cut a small slice off the top of each potato and carefully scoop out the insides with a spoon, leaving a sturdy shell.
Mash the scooped-out potato flesh and fold it into the salmon mixture, creating a well-blended filling.
Fill each potato shell with the salmon mixture, mounding it slightly on top for a generous presentation.
Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and garnish with extra chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
