Samosa Potato Skins

Ingredients

  • 5 cups cooked potatoes (2-3 Russet potatoes), diced
  • 4 pound medley of baby or mini potatoes
  • 1/2 cup fire-roasted corn, defrosted
  • 1 cup frozen peas, cooked
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon Indian chili powder (ground cayenne)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • 1)

    Preheat oven to 400° F.

  • 2)

    In a saucepan, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Add the frozen peas, lower to medium heat and cover for two to three minutes or until tender. Drain and measure out one cup of peas for this recipe.

  • 3)

    Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut in half. Scoop out insides of baby potatoes with a melon baller. Reserve the insides for another use such as mashed potatoes.

  • 4)

    Place baby potato skins, skin side down, on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on rack.

  • 5)

    Prick the Russet potatoes once with a fork and boil until fork tender. Let cool. Peel and cut into cubes that are the size of playing dice.

  • 6)

    Put the onions in a nonstick skillet and place on stovetop on high heat.  As soon as the onions start to brown or stick to the skillet, add a 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Then, add garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds over medium heat. Add all the dry spices and stir for another 30 seconds. Add a splash of water whenever the ingredients stick to the pan. Add corn, peas and cubed Russet potatoes and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cilantro and lemon juice. Remove from heat. Stuff the skins with this filling and serve.
