How to Make Stuffed Baked Potato

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prick a large russet potato several times with a fork. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. (This step can be done ahead of time).
  3. While the potato bakes, prepare the zucchini filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium zucchini, grated (approximately 1 cup), and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  4. Once the potato is cooked, let it cool slightly. Slice off the top and scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell intact. Roughly mash the potato.
  5. In a bowl, combine the mashed potato, sautéed zucchini, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Stuff the potato shell generously with the potato-zucchini mixture. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
