Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium baking potatoes
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
Additional chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Bake potatoes about 1 hour or until tender.
  • Cut each potato in half crosswise; scoop out inside into large bowl, leaving a thin shell. Mash potatoes until no lumps remain. Stir in cheeses, 1/4 cup parsley, the pepper and egg until well blended.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Cut thin slice from bottom of each potato half if needed to stand upright. Place shells on ungreased 15x10-inch pan with sides; fill shells with potato mixture.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until hot. Garnish with additional parsley and bell pepper.
