Ingredients

• 8 medium red potatoes
• 1 cup cooked salmon
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chives
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the red potatoes clean and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet and lightly coat them with olive oil.

Step 3

Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a knife.

Step 4

While the potatoes bake, prepare the salmon filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked salmon, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly until safe to handle. Cut a small slice off the top of each potato and carefully scoop out the insides with a spoon, leaving a sturdy shell.

Step 6

Mash the scooped-out potato flesh and fold it into the salmon mixture, creating a well-blended filling.

Step 7

Fill each potato shell with the salmon mixture, mounding it slightly on top for a generous presentation.

Step 8

Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

Step 9

Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and garnish with extra chives, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
