Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra crispy potato skins, scoop out the flesh while the potatoes are still warm, then brush both sides with melted butter and bake the skins alone for 5-7 minutes before filling and final baking.
  • To add a smoky depth, mix a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a handful of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the couscous before stuffing.
  • If you want to make these vegetarian but dairy-free, use a vegan cheese that melts well and swap butter for olive oil in both the skins and the couscous mixture.
  • Leftover potato flesh can be saved and mashed with a little butter and seasoning, then served as a side or used as a filling for another dish.
