Cauliflower Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe

Twice Baked Potatoes make a hearty, healthy side dinner side dish or a light lunch for kids. To crank up the nutritional factor even more, I've added mashed cauliflower to this twice baked potato recipe.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Wash and trim cauliflower into florets. Place in a gallon-size zipper-sealed plastic bag. Punch a few holes in the bag to vent. Microwave on high 3-4 minutes until cauliflower is tender.

  3. Pour cauliflower in a large bowl. Set aside.

  4. Wash potatoes and prick several times with a fork. Place in the microwave, and heat on high 7-9 minutes, until soft.

  5. Slit potatoes in half lengthwise. Allow to cool.

  6. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/8-inch of potato border.

  7. Add potato flesh to the cauliflower. Add butter, minced garlic, milk, salt, pepper, half of the cheese and the bacon, if using.

  8. Mash until smooth. Mound the mashed cauliflower and potato mixture bake into the potato shells. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  9. Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet. Bake 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Makes 8 servings.
