Samosa-Inspired Baked Stuffed Potatoes

I NEVER do anything interesting with my baked potatoes and was fascinated by this recipe…cilantro, peas, yogurt… I cannot wait to try it! (that is AFTER our beach vacation!!) via fromaway.com. (bookmarking this blog!!)

Ingredients:

2 large potatoes
1/2 onion, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
Splash of olive oil
1/8 – 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup peas, cooked
3 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Plain yogurt (for topping)
Method:

Wash potatoes, and pierce with fork. Bake directly on oven rack at 400 degrees, for one hour.
While potatoes cook, saute onions, curry, ginger, and mustard in olive oil over medium heat until onions soften, about 5 minutes.
Carefully remove potatoes from oven (potatoes are hot!) and split lengthwise, scooping insides into a bowl. Add onion mixture, cilantro, peas, and butter, and mash with a potato masher until most lumps are gone. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fill potato skin halves with mixture, top with yogurt, and serve.
