Submitted by AbbaGav

"Adapted slightly from the Moosewood Cookbook, a dish the kids adore. Use the crushed red pepper instead of the cayenne if you're worried it might be too spicy for the kids."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 24 potato wedges
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 12 potatoes
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 cups cottage cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dill, chopped fine
• 3 cups pizza cheese
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• pepper
• 4 tablespoons mustard
• paprika

directions

1. In advance, bake (or boil) the potatoes as you normally would, about 45 minutes at 180°C When they are cool enough to handle, slice them in half laterally, and scoop out the insides, leaving the skins intact.
2. Place the potato innards in a bowl and mash them with the mayonnaise and cottage cheese.
3. Add all remaining ingredients except the paprika and any extra cheese. Blend with a hand-blender for a smoother texture, and whip with a beater for a fluffier finish.
4. Divide the filling evenly among the potato skins.
5. Sprinkle some extra cheese over the potatoes and dust with paprika.
6. Place the potatoes in a shallow baking dish.
7. Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C.
