I used to have a copy of Mollie Katzen's The Enchanted Broccoli Forest book. It was one of my favorite cookbooks. I've been looking for her recipe for Rebaked Potatoes. I have found a recipe that's similar, but not exactly what I remember. So I'm writing down what I did, so I'll at least have a starting point next time I try to make it. And with any luck, The Enchanted Broccoli Forest will magically reappear on my shelves, so I don't have to guess again.
Rebaked Potatoes
4 fist-sized baking potatoes (Russet or Kenebec)
1/3 C mayonnaise
1 C cottage cheese
4 hard cooked eggs, finely chopped
1 1/2 T dijon mustard
1 t salt
2 t fresh dill weed or 1 t dried
1 C grated cheddar
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1/2 t ground pepper
Topping:
extra grated cheddar
paprika
sliced tomatoes (optional)
Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes in a 375 degree oven until done. When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the potato innards, leaving 1/4 of the potato near the skin.
Place the potato innards in a bowl. Mash them with the mayonnaise and cottage cheese. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the topping). Mix well.
Put the potato skins in a 9x13" baking dish. Fill each of the potato skins. Put a tomato slice on each potato and sprinkle extra cheese and paprika over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
