Name: Salmon-Stuffed Potatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 4 medium baking potatoes (about 8 ounces each); 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream; 1/2 cup buttermilk; 1 tablespoon butter; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 4 ounces smoked salmon or lox, cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 4 teaspoons minced chives

Here's a tasty twist on twice-baked potatoes from Carolyn Schmeling of Brookfield, Wisconsin. The spuds are stuffed with a rich mixture of potato, sour cream and smoked salmon, then sprinkled with chives. They're hearty enough to be served as a main dish alongside a salad or bowl of soup.

Ingredients

4 medium baking potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon or lox, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 teaspoons minced chives

Directions

Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 400° for 40-60 minutes or until tender. Cool until easy to handle. Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a thin shell.
In a bowl, mash the pulp with sour cream. Stir in the buttermilk, butter salt, and pepper. Gently fold in salmon. Spoon into potato shells. Sprinkle with chives.

Hella good. Boyfriend and I made this together and it was one of the best potato related recipes I've ever eaten.
