Italian Inspired Potatoes
RECIPE BY: Engrossed
This was inspired by Chef Potpie's Couch Potatoes. I went to make it and thought it was missing tomatoes...I realized I had some sundried tomatoes and other flavorful add-ins and came up with this. It turned out very yummy. I love the tangy additions with the salami. To me this is a meal in itself! You could add onion to this also if you like. I might even try it with some capers next time. Hmm...and perhaps feta cheese instead of mozzarella with shredded chicken or no meat for greek potatoes! It's so fun to experiment. This could also be made in the oven or with leftover roasted potatoes or canned potatoes. Enjoy!

I found a winner with this recipe! I used 2 russet baking potatos. Cut them in half, rubbed the tops with garlic salt & a spritz of EVOO. Baked at 375 for 45 minutes. I used Italian 6-cheese blend in the cheese mixture, as that was what I had on hand... topped the cooked potatos, and broiled them about 2 minutes, until the cheese bubbled up. My DD ate herself silly! We omitted the optional olives and sour cream, but I'm sure they are nice additions. Can't wait to reheat the leftovers for lunch!! Thanks, Pipi!!!
