Here’s a delicious, crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside recipe for Oven-Fried Stuffed Potatoes.
Potato stuffed and baked until golden—like a healthier version of fried loaded potato snacks.
🥔 Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
- Salt & black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken or ground beef (optional)
- 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp sour cream or yogurt
- 1 small onion (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- Chopped parsley or green onions
🍳 Instructions
1. Bake the potatoes
- Wash potatoes and poke holes with a fork
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 40–50 minutes until soft
- Let cool slightly
2. Cut and scoop
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise
- Scoop out the inside carefully (leave a thin shell)
- Mash the scooped potato in a bowl
3. Make filling
- Mix mashed potato with:
- cheese
- sour cream/yogurt
- cooked meat (optional)
- onions, garlic, seasoning
4. Stuff potatoes
- Fill potato skins with mixture
- Brush outside lightly with oil or butter
5. Oven-fry (bake again)
- Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 15–20 minutes
- Until edges are crispy and golden
💡 Tips for best results
- Don’t over-scoop or skins may tear
- Use high heat at the end for crispiness
- Add extra cheese on top for a golden crust
- Air fryer works great too
🧠 Bottom line
Oven-fried stuffed potatoes are a crispy, baked comfort food that combines fluffy mashed potato filling with a crunchy skin—no deep frying needed.
