Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Have you ever had a Samosa?  Considered Indian food, they are little deep fried shells that are filled with a mixture of mashed potato, onion, green peas, spices and green chili. They are usually served with a little sauce on the side as well. They are SO delicious. These baked potatoes are inspired by the Indian appetizer Samosas, they are stuffed with all the ingredients of a Samosa, with half the calories!

Ingredients

•2 large potatoes

•1/2 onion, diced

•2 tsp curry powder

•2 tsp minced ginger

•1/2 tsp mustard seeds

•olive oil

•1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

•3/4 cup peas, cooked

•3 TBS butter

•Salt and pepper

•Plain Greek yogurt (for topping)

Instructions

►Wash potatoes, and pierce with fork. Bake directly on oven rack at 400 degrees, for one hour.

►While potatoes cook, saute onions, curry, ginger, and mustard in olive oil over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

►Carefully remove potatoes from oven using oven mitts, and split lengthwise (but don't cut all the way in half). Carefully scoop out insides into a bowl. Add onion mixture, cilantro, peas, and butter, and mash with a potato masher or fork until most lumps are gone. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

►Fill the potato with mixture, top with yogurt and cilantro, and serve.

Notes

Each potato serves 1 person as a main dish, but these could also be split in half and served as sides. Double to recipe for 4 full servings.
