Sausage-Stuffed Red Potatoes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min.
YIELD: 16 appetizers.
My husband and I have a large garden and we always plant red potatoes so I am always trying to come up with ways to use all of them. We have this recipe often. My son calls them potato poppers. And they are very low calorie.
Ingredients
-
8 small red potatoes
-
1 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
-
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
-
4 green onions, chopped
-
9 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, divided
-
1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Directions

1.
Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 8-9 minutes or until tender, turning once.

2.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage and pepper over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Add onions and 4-1/2 teaspoons parsley; cook 1-2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out 1 tablespoon pulp (save for another use).

3.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons sausage mixture into each half. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.
