Out Out Damn Spuds - Thrice Baked Bleu Cheese Potatolings

Out Out Damn Spuds - Thrice Baked Bleu Cheese Potatolings -

From alisdhair 15 years ago

Not exactly my idea either, but I use smaller sized red potatoes they are much cuter.

12 attractive and evenly shaped red potatoes – They should be big enough to hollow out. shopping list
3 – 4 oz. of aged Scottish Lanark if you can get it (otherwise a ripe Stilton – not a joke, unfortunately) shopping list
2 tbls. of sour cream shopping list
Fresh chives, finely chopped shopping list
Melted butter shopping list
white pepper shopping list
Fresh bread crumbs shopping list
A little bacon or smoked ham would not hurt them. shopping list

Cut a fourth of each potato and save these pieces. Toss them all lightly in olive oil and bake them until they are soft, but by no means falling apart (the large ones that is, who cares about the trimmings). Put them in the refrigerator and let them completely cool.
Scoop them out as you would for any old twice baked potato, putting what you have so scraped out into a mixing bowl along with the cut off tops (chopped up.)
Add to the potatoes the cheese, sour cream and the chives. Mash them together well.
If you have a piping bag, you could make them really pretty, otherwise refill them with the mixture as best as you can.
Place them in a hot oven until they are re-heated.
Brush them with the butter and touch them off with the bread crumbs and once more beneath a broiler to nicely brown them.

I used good old baking potatoes and Maytag Bleu and these were great. The bread crumbs are a really nice touch that I have never heard of. I sauteed the crumbs in the butter and sprinkled on instead of doing separately. This is a new fave!!! Thank you my friend and "Hell is murky".
