A savoury mix of precooked chicken sausage, apple, and shallot lends a new twist to standard twice baked potatoes.

Ingredients

Sweet potato

2 medium

Olive oil

1 tsp(s)

Shallots

½ cup(s), chopped

Cooked chicken sausage

6 oz, smoked chicken and apple variety, chopped

Apple

1 small, peeled, diced

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s)

Fresh sage

1 tsp(s), chopped (plus a few leaves for garnish)

Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

4 tbsp(s), divided (3 Tbsp plus 4 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Prick a few holes in potatoes with a fork. Place potatoes on a microwave safe plate and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. When potatoes have slightly cooled, cut each in half lengthwise, scoop out flesh into a large bowl and mash; reserve potato skins.
  4. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausage and apple; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  5. Add sausage mixture, salt and sage to bowl with potato flesh; stir to combine. Gently fold in 3 Tbsp cheese; evenly divide mixture back into reserved potato skins and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon remaining cheese. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve garnished with sage leaves. Yields 1 stuffed potato half per serving.
