Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1.5 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 3

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each one in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch border of potato in the skins. Place the scooped potato flesh in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potato flesh. Mash together until smooth.

Step 8

Stir in the cooked spinach and 1 cup of the shredded Gruyere cheese into the mashed potato mixture until well combined.

Step 9

Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly among the 8 halves.

Step 10

Top each stuffed potato half with the remaining Gruyere cheese.

Step 11

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Optional: Sprinkle with paprika for a pop of color before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Spinach and Gruyere Stuffed Potatoes!
