If you're craving a warm, cozy dinner but don't want to spend more than half an hour at the stove, try potato boats with eggs and herbs. They are prepared from the simplest ingredients, and the results are soft, aromatic, with a crispy crust. Even children who don't eat potatoes finish every last bite.
You will need:
Potatoes – 4 medium tubers
Eggs – 4 pcs.
Hard cheese – 80 g
Fresh herbs – a small bunch
Salt, black pepper, a pinch of ground garlic – to taste
Olive or sunflower oil – 1 tbsp. l.
How to cook:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Wash the potatoes without peeling them and boil them in their skins for 15 minutes; they should remain firm inside.
- Cool, cut in half and carefully remove the core with a spoon, leaving the walls 0.5–1 cm thick.
- Grate the removed pulp on a fine grater, mix with grated cheese, chopped herbs, spices and butter.
- Fill the potato halves with this mixture.
- Beat one egg into the center of each “boat”.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the whites are set and the edges of the potatoes are lightly browned.
- Serve hot, lightly sprinkled with fresh herbs.
The dish turns out satisfying, but not heavy.
Bon appetit!
Question and answer:
Can I use ready-boiled potatoes?
Yes, but it is important that it is not overcooked. It is better to boil in advance, but not until soft.
How to speed up cooking?
You can bake whole potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 °C, and then make boats. But boiling is faster.
