Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 pieces russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, gouda, or your choice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the tomatoes and carefully slice off the tops. Scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, creating hollow shells. Be gentle to avoid tearing the flesh. Set the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain while you prepare the filling.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the smoked paprika, unsalted butter, and half of the shredded cheese. Mash together until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Place the hollowed-out tomatoes upright in a baking dish. Spoon the smoky potato mixture into each tomato until they are evenly filled. Top each stuffed tomato with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Smokey Potato Stuffed Tomatoes as a tasty side or light main dish!
