How to Make Baked Potatoes With Tuna And Cheese
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub 2 large russet potatoes. Pierce them several times with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes according to your preferred method until tender (approx. 1 hour in the oven, 8-10 minutes in the microwave, or 2-3 hours in a slow cooker on low).
- While the potatoes bake, prepare the tuna mixture. In a medium bowl, gently mix together 5 ounces canned tuna (drained), 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek Yogurt for a healthier option), 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise.
- Fluff the potato flesh with a fork.
- Spoon the tuna mixture generously over each potato half.
- Top with extra cheese (about 1 tablespoon per potato), and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with extra green onions, paprika, or your favorite toppings (e.g., bacon bits, sour cream).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
