Idaho® Potato Soufflé

Recipe Ingredients:

9 Idaho® Potatoes
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. Wash and cut Idaho® potatoes in 1/2 (cutting the potato as if it were lying on a table from top to bottom right down the middle) and make a base by cutting the ends off of each side so the potatoes can sit flat.
2. Hollow out the larger cut side of the potato with melon-baller leaving a 1/4-inch edge on sides and bottom. Blanch potatoes until soft (do not over-cook).
3. Mix mayonnaise, garlic, Parmesan, salt and pepper and fill potatoes with a pastry bag.
4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until mayonnaise mixture is golden brown (about 15 minutes in a convection oven).

Makes 9 servings.
