Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Parboil the potatoes until tender but not falling apart. Cut each potato lengthwise into two halves. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border.
Sauté the Filling
- Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Add the chopped carrots, salt, and black pepper. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, until the carrots are tender-crisp.
Stuff and Garnish
- Gently mix the scooped potato flesh into the vegetable mixture. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins. Top each stuffed potato with a dollop of fresh cream, sprinkle with fresh coriander and dried basil.
Optional: Broil
- For a slightly browned top, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or paprika to the filling.
- If you don't have fresh cream, you can substitute with sour cream or crème fraîche.
- To make this a complete meal, serve with a side salad or some crusty bread.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
