Ingredients

  • 3 large baking potatoes (8 to 10 oz each)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1/3 cup julienne sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and herbs, drained
  • 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, well drained
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil or parsley, if desired
  • Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with fork. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Step 
    2
    Cut each potato lengthwise in half; scoop out insides into medium bowl, leaving a thin shell. Add milk to potatoes; mash with potato masher or electric mixer until no lumps remain (amount of milk needed will vary depending on type of potato used). Stir in pesto, tomatoes, olives and 1/2 cup cheese. Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Step 
    3
    Bake about 20 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with basil and additional cheese.
