TWICE BAKED POTATOES WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Bake the potatoes in the oven for about an hour, until the skins are firm and the centres are soft.
• Meanwhile, finely dice the sundried tomatoes and set aside.
• When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven. Halve them lengthways and scoop out the majority of the flesh with a spoon. Be very careful not to tear the skin- leave a quarter inch of flesh still in the skin to provide a firm shell.
• Lightly mash with a fork the flesh that has been removed from the skins. Mix in the mascarpone cheese and sundried tomato pesto and season with salt and pepper if desired. Stir well to mix.
• Add the grated mozzarella and diced sundried tomatoes and stir to mix.
• Scoop the filling back into the potatoes, smoothing the tops.
• Place on a foil-covered baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, until the filling is hot and beginning to turn golden.
• Serve hot!

MASHED POTATOES WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place sun-dried tomatoes in small bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover tomatoes; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain. Return tomatoes to bowl; stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and oil.
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot. Stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add milk, half and half, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, nutmeg and pepper to potatoes. Mash until smooth.
• Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Spread half of mashed potatoes in prepared dish. Sprinkle sun-dried tomato mixture over. Spread remaining mashed potatoes over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake potatoes uncovered until heated through and top is golden brown, about 35 minutes (or up to 45 minutes if refrigerated).
