Directions:
- Potato Preparation:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and let them cool just enough to handle. Peel and mash them until no lumps remain.
- Flavoring the Mash:
- Stir in the minced garlic, a generous pinch of salt, pepper, oregano, and chives into the mashed potatoes. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Filling Mix:
- Prepare your fillings: Ensure the chicken is cooked and shredded, the bacon is crispy and crumbled, and the other ingredients are ready to be layered.
- Assembling:
- Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take a portion of the seasoned potato mash and flatten it into a circle. Place your chosen fillings in the center, then carefully wrap the potato around the fillings, sealing them inside. Shape into a ball or an oval.
- Baking Time:
- Arrange the stuffed potato creations on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until they turn golden and emit a delicious aroma.
- Ready to Serve:
- Enjoy these hearty stuffed potatoes fresh out of the oven. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
This recipe is versatile, allowing you to mix and match fillings according to what you have on hand or prefer. It’s a comforting, customizable dish that’s perfect for gatherings or a family dinner. Enjoy crafting your stuffed potato masterpieces!
