Baked Potatoes
Why turn on the big oven just to bake potatoes when the
Cuisinart
®
Classic Toaster Oven Broiler does such a good job?
Makes 4 servings
4 Idaho or russet potatoes (8 – 11 ounces each)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
With the rack in position “B”, preheat the Cuisinart® Classic Toaster Oven
Broiler to 400° F on bake setting. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and dry.
Lightly rub each potato with 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil. Use a fork to prick
potatoes, about 6 to 8 times. Place directly on the rack and bake until soft and
easily pierced with a knife, about 55 – 60 minutes. Remove from the oven.
To serve, pinch open the top, fluff the interior with a fork, and serve topped with
butter, extra virgin olive oil, margarine, or sour cream, as desired. Add kosher
or sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Variation: Substitute sweet potatoes or yams for baking potatoes.

Broccoli & Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes
Serve as a very hearty side dish, or with a
big salad to make a simple supper.
Makes 4 servings
4 Idaho or russet potatoes, about 10 – 11 ounces each
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 green onions, trimmed and chopped
1 broccoli crown, about 6 ounces, trimmed and chopped in half-inch pieces
3/4 cup milk (may use whole, reduced fat, lowfat or fat-free)
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (may use regular or lowfat)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper
Prepare and bake potatoes as in Baked Potatoes, but do not pinch open – just
slit slightly with a knife to allow steam to vent. When cool enough to handle, cut
off top third of the potatoes and scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
Reserve flesh and skins. Discard tops, or reserve for another use.
While the potatoes bake and cool, melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet
with a lid over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and broccoli.
Stir to coat the vegetables, then cover and steam the vegetables for 4 – 5
minutes until tender, but still crispy. Uncover, remove from the heat, and let cool.
Use Cuisinart
®
hand mixer on low speed to whip the potatoes. Add milk,
shredded cheese, salt and pepper; mash or beat to combine completely. Add the
cooled sautéed vegetables and stir by hand to combine. Generously fill the
reserved potato shells with the potato/broccoli mixture. Potatoes may be done
ahead to this point and refrigerated until ready to bake.
Place the rack in position “B”; preheat the Cuisinart
®
Classic Toaster Oven Broiler
to 375° F. Arrange the potatoes in a 7 x 11-inch baking pan. (Make cleanup
simple by lining the pan with parchment paper.) Bake, uncovered, until the tops
are golden brown and the potatoes are hot, about 25 – 30 minutes. (If the
potatoes are cold from the refrigerator, add 5 – 8 minutes to the baking time.)
Remove from the oven and serve hot.
