Method
- Step 1: Wash potatoes thoroughly and place whole in a large pot of salted boiling water. Boil for about 25 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Step 2: Slice each potato lengthwise in half. Carefully scoop out the centers with a spoon or melon baller, leaving about a 1 cm border intact. Mash the scooped potato flesh lightly with a fork and set aside.
- Step 3: In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add smoked turkey cubes and sauté briefly until lightly browned.
- Step 4: Add mashed potato flesh to the pan and stir to combine gently. Add Reblochon cheese pieces and crème fraîche, stirring over low heat until cheese melts into a creamy filling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Generously fill each potato shell with the creamy mixture, shaping tops slightly rounded. Arrange stuffed potatoes snugly in a baking dish.
- Step 6: Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake potatoes for about 15 minutes until tops are golden, bubbly, and slightly crispy.
- Step 7: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy as a cozy side or main dish.
Notes
Substitute Brie or Camembert for Reblochon if unavailable. For a vegetarian version, omit smoked turkey and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach. Customize with herbs like nutmeg or smoked paprika, or add a crunchy panko-Parmesan topping before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in oven at 175°C (350°F) for 10 minutes to restore melty texture.
