Easter is coming! The count down is on and we’re here to equip you with incredible recipes to make your family dinner special. It will all feel a little different this year and our tables will seat fewer guests. However, this doesn’t mean your day can’t be exceptional. We can do this!

Not to mention…Did you know that potatoes store really well? That’s right. Go and buy the largest bag you can and then transfer them from the plastic bag into your latest amazon cardboard box 😉 – (don’t forget to wipe the box first). Keep them in a cool dark place and you’ll have potatoes for a while! We love growing potatoes in our garden and promise, this procedure keeps potatoes well for months. Just remember to check on them every so often and pull any stems off that might start growing.

Alright, back to the recipe. We all love baked potatoes right? Well, start with that. Go ahead and stab your spuds with a fork. You’ll need to make quite a few holes and then wrap them in aluminum foil. Once your oven is preheated, simply bake the potatoes as usual.

After they’re fully baked from your oven, slice just a thin top/side off. You’ll then scoop the potato flesh out and start mixing the “stuffed” portion. To be honest, this recipe for stuffed potatoes can also make the BEST meal simply even on their own.

Although the anti is up’d for Easter…pair these potatoes still with your dinner favorites. Let’s make Easter dinner unforgettable with amazing food. This is in our control!

You can go ahead and use a mixer to make the stuffed portion, or use your hand masher and mix. We’ve told you all before, we love our mixer.. we’ll bring it out again and make life easy. Simply add the potato that you’ve scooped out and a few other ingredients. Mix it all together and stuff those potato shells back.

Top them with mozzarella cheese or really any cheese you might have on hand these days and you’ll soon be in a potato coma. Lol, is that a thing?!? We’re pretty sure it will be after you make these incredible stuffed potatoes.
