Chilli-Loaded Baked Potato
When we think of Halloween or Bonfire Night in our house, we default to thinking about chilli and jacket potatoes. Even better is a smoked chilli and the ultimate baked potato that's been slow cooking on the Big Green Egg, whilst we've been out having fun.In this recipe, we've mashed it up a bit or zhuzhed as Nic would say to come up with a new combination of these two staple recipes.
Method
Baked Potatoes
- Setup your Egg for an indirect cook with the ConvEGGtor feet up and your stainless steel grid above. Get it to 2o0°C.
- Pierce your baked potatoes all over with a fork, you need to do this or they could explode.
- Place them in your Egg and cook for about 1.5 hours turning once half way through the cook.
- After 1.5 hours drizzle your potato with oil and sprinkle with a generous amount of salt.
- Cook for a further 30 minutes until your potato has a really crispy skin. Remove from the Egg,
- Once cooled so you can hold the potato, cut your baked potato in half and scoop out the middle.
- Pop your skins back on to crisp up.
- If you have a potato ricer, pass the potato through the ricer to get it silky smooth, and place a bowl.
- If you don't have a ricer, then pop the potato straight into a bowl and use a potato masher to break down the potato.
- Add butter, milk and some salt and ground black pepper to taste and mix to your desired texture.
Chilli
- See two suggested recipes under ingredients.
- We also change up the ingredients for our chilli depending on the day, we added some cumin seeds, dried oregano and a beef stock cube.
To assemble
- Take your empty potato jacket skin and spoon some chilli into it.
- Spoon the mashed potato on top of the chilli equally, across your chilli loaded potatoes.
- Sprinkle over some grated cheese now, if you want this melted. Otherwise, if you preference is unmelted cheese, you could sprinkle over after the next step.
- Pop them back into the Egg to crisp up the top of the mashed potato and melt the cheese.
