My potatoes were small so I used 3. A lovely small but filling main meal

Everyone really enjoyed these.

Delicious, even with substitutions! I had everything except the gorgonzola but I trusted his "use any cheese" advice and subbed feta. Very easy but a bit time consuming so the next time I will follow the advice here and pre-bake my potatoes. We served as a main with a side of sautéed courgettes. Will certainly make again.

These are truly delicious

Subbed Gouda and didn’t add walnuts. Killer recipe. In the rotation.

With spinach & gorgonzola in the house, these were pretty easy to prep early in the day and then heat up at dinner; very tasty with a salad & a little bit of thinly sliced leftover ribeye. These are richer than many other stuffed bakers I make but they will certainly be made again.

This was a little long, but very nice, if not outstanding. I think the suggestion in another note of adding some garlic and/or chives woulld be a good one. Or even (contrary to another note) some bacon lardons!

This only got an “i” for 10 ingredients or less, but a) you can bake the potatoes ahead, b) it’s ‘lazyday’ and ‘easier than you think’ in my opinion [imle] . I baked the potatoes the night before, and heated them up in the oven before scooping out the innards. I did not top with toasted walnuts, instead choosing to sprinkle the walnuts over a side salad of baby arugula, shaved fennel, carrot, cucmber and beet. ETA this flavor profile is by far my favorite of several twice baked stuffed potato recipes I’ve made.

I had some spinach to use up and some baking potatoes and this is the recipe that came up! I didn’t have Gorgonzola but, as Yotam said any cheese would do, I used garlic and herb Boursin and a little bit of Comte. Very easy to make and delicious. I didn’t even get the usual comments about “this would be so much better with bacon”.

I baked the potatoes and made the filling ahead of time, then stuffed and reheated them at 350 for 30-40 min. Skipped the walnuts as they were a side dish and didn't need to be richer. My family loved them. I agree that some garlic or chives would be a nice addition.

I bought cream and forgot to add it. Didn't miss it! Would have benefitted from a bit of garlic or some chives beaten in to the potato, but otherwise lovely. And half a potato is definitely plenty for a side dish.
