If you've ever been to England, then I am sure that you've heard of the jacket potato aka baked potato. There is nothing better than something warm on a cold day, and instead of selling hot dogs on the street corners, the English sell jacket potatoes. B/c I'm not super patient, I created a jacket potato inspired dish sans baked potato. :/ Baked potatoes are great, but since I didn't want to wait an hour to eat, I just boiled a few potatoes whole and then chopped them up. The final product came out not too shabby. ;)
Jacket Potato w/ Kidney Bean Filling (makes 2 servings)
- 4 small/medium sized potatoes
- 1c kidney beans (or 1 can)
- 100g cream cheese
- 1tsp chili powder
- 1tsp cumin
- s/p
- Peel any bad spots on your potatoes, and bring a pot of water to boil.
- Boil the potatoes for 25-30m. (You should be able to easily insert a fork into the potato.)
- Heat up the beans with the cream cheese and spices. Add additional spices to taste.
- Lastly, chop up the potato and pour the bean filling on top.
We used canned beans for this dish to make it fast and easy. It tasted pretty good and was very filling. Would also go great with a salad. You could also cut up the potatoes ahead of time, before boiling, to make this dish even faster to put together (boiling for only 15m, instead of 30m). Enjoy!
