Twice Baked Baby Potatoes With Caviar
Who doesn’t love baked potatoes (and the hands that bake them)?
Greg Lofts offered us a fantastic recipe that can serve as an entree or main dish of a romantic dinner.
This recipe uses bite-sized potatoes crowned with sour cream and delicious black caviar. Perfect for enjoying Valentine’s Day with a glass of your favourite beverage.
Valentine’s Tip: Arranging them into a heart shape when serving is bound to seal the deal!
Let’s take a look at the ingredients needed:
- 1 ½ pounds of baby red potatoes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- ¼ cup of cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled.
- ¼ cup of whole milk

Time to cook:
Step 1:
- Preheat the oven to 420-425ºF.

- Drain water.
- When warm enough to touch, trim and discard ¼ inch from the top of each potato.
- Trim the bottoms of the potatoes if they don’t stand upright.
Step 2
- Carefully scoop flesh from the potatoes. Leave around a quarter of the flesh intact around the bottom and sides.
- Place the hollowed potatoes on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Step 3:
- Press potato flesh through a ricer into a bowl.
- Stir with cream cheese, butter, milk and chives. (If you don’t use a ricer, mash to merge together until smooth)

Step 4:
- Transfer potato mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped.
- Pipe mixture into hollowed potatoes and bake until they are heated through and brown on top (20-23 minutes)
