My sister and I were browsing internet for some yummy to try something new. There we came across this stuffed potato recipe. As I went through the ingredient list, I was sure this is going to be a delicious recipe as I had already tried stuffed potato- Mexican style which was delicious.

This is a very good appetizer and when served hot this cheesy corn potato will leave a yummy tempting taste to your family members/ guests.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Serves: 12 potatoes

What goes in it:

Potato, boiled- 6 medium sized

Capsicum, finely chopped- 1 small sized

Sweet corn, boiled- 1 nos

Garlic, finely chopped- 1 tbl spn

Celery (Ajwain)- ½ tbl spn

Pepper- ½ tbl spn

Salt- to taste

Oil- 1 tbl spn

Butter- 2 tbl spn

Cheese, grated- ½ cup

Coriander, chopped- ½ cup

How did I make it:

Wash and peel the skin of potatoes. Cut them into halves lengthwise so that you can make proper scooped potatoes.

[Foodies Note:  Take medium sized round potatoes so that it can be scooped meticulously. I used small sized potato but medium sized potatoes will be more comfortable to stuff with.]

Pressure cook potato and sweet corn for 4-5 whistles.  After it is boiled drain off the water and keep them aside.

While potatoes and corn in being boiled, chop coriander leaves, capsicum (into tiny squares) and shred cheese.

In a small kadai take little oil and sauté garlic till it turns brown. Put in ajwain and sauté for about 1 minute.  Add chopped capsicum to it and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add boiled corn to it and mix them all well. 

Sprinkle salt, pepper and coriander leaves to it. Cook for about 2 minutes by stirring continuously. Remove from fire.

[Foodies Note: Add little salt as you are going to use cheese and butter which have salty taste.]

With the help of spoon scoop the boiled potato at the center meticulously.

Keep it aside and start preparing for roasting potatoes. Take a pan and switch on the stove. Apply butter to halved potatoes. And roast both the sides of potato on it on low flame till they become golden brown.
