Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ medium onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 ½ celery stalks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 ½ tbsp fresh sage chopped
- 2 cups leftover bread
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh sage chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- fresh chives
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Add the baby potatoes and cook until soft. This may take 20 – 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drain the potatoes, allowing them to dry in a colander for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet.
- Using a metal spatula, large fork, or potato masher, squish each potato ensuring they still stay in one piece.
- Drizzle the potatoes with the first amount of olive oil, and sprinkle salt & pepper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
- While the potatoes bake prepare the toppings.
- For the stuffing, finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery, and transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- Chop the fresh sage and mince the garlic cloves, adding them to the bowl.
- Take the leftover bread and rip it into small pieces- around the size of a grape or smaller. Add this to the medium-sized bowl.
- Add the vegetable stock, salt & pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the cream cheese and mix slightly to soften.
- Add grated cheddar cheese and finely chopped sage. Mix until combined- it will be thick.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, allowing them to slightly cool.
- Using a metal spatula, flip over all of the potatoes, exposing the crisp, golden bottom.
- Drizzle the ¼ cup of olive oil over all of the potatoes, adding more salt & pepper.
- Evenly spread the stuffing mixture over the potatoes, and put excess amounts around the edges.
- With a spoon or your hands, distribute small amounts of the cheddar cheese mixture on top of the potatoes/stuffing.
- Add more salt & pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden & cheese are beautifully melted.
- Serve immediately, with the addition of gravy, sour cream, or vegan sour cream. Garnish with fresh chives or herbs.
