Smokey Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Serves 4-8 | 40-45 minutes if using a microwave to cook the potatoes initially before crisping up in the oven | 60-90 minutes in a conventional oven plus another 20 minutes in oven to crisp up.
These make a light lunch served on their own with a few salad leaves or a tasty side dish to accompany a hearty bean stew or main salad dish.
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 pack smoked tofu (use Taifun if you can get it – available from health food shops or delis) – otherwise another brand will do but won’t be so firm
- 1 tbsp oil or a couple of squirts oil spray
- 1 tbsp vegan margarine
- Dash of soya milk
- 1 tsp paprika
- Black pepper
- Pierce each potato with a skewer or sharp knife in several places.
- Cook the potatoes. If you are using a conventional oven, allow 60-90 minutes at 200°C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Smaller potatoes will take less time. If you are using a microwave, cook the potatoes two at a time until tender – approximately 6-10 minutes each, but they may need longer.
- If you have microwaved the potatoes, preheat the oven to the above temperature.
- Chop the smoked tofu into small pieces.
- Heat the frying pan, add the oil or spray and fry the tofu until browned and starting to crisp.
- Let the potatoes cool a bit then cut in half lengthways and carefully scoop out the insides. Try to leave a layer of potato of about 2mm/1⁄4 inch all around in so you don’t rip the skins.
- Mash the potato skins with margarine and
soya milk to make creamy.
- Add the tofu pieces and mix in well.
- Spoon the mixture back into the skins. Lightly oil or spray a non-stick oven tray, sprinkle the stuffed potato halves with the paprika and bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve hot, with a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
