Stuffed Potatoes with Asparagus
These baked stuffed potatoes were really tasty. Fun having them stuffed with the asparagus.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds baking potatoes such as Idaho
- 1/2 pound green asparagus
- 1/4 cup soy cream or milk
- 1 Tbs. soy margarine
- salt
- 1 tsp. grainy mustard
Directions:
- Wash the potatoes well.
- Prick several times with a fork and bake in the oven.
- Wash the asparagus and cut off the woody bottom part.
- Cook in a pan of lightly salted water until al dente (about 5 or 6 minutes).
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven and allow to slightly cool (enough so you can handle them).
- Carefully remove the top 1/3 of the potato, and using a melon baller scoop the potato out from the skin.
- Be careful to leave a bit of potato attached to the skin so that the potato holds it’s shape.
- Put the scooped out potato pieces in a bowl and mash using the soy milk, mustard and soy margarine.
- Using a small spoon, place a bit of the mashed potato back in to the bottom of the potato skin.
- Place 2 or 3 asparagus spears in each potato and top of with more mashed potato mixture.
- Place the potatoes under the grill for 3-5 minutes to re-heat and slightly brown the top mashed potato parts.
