Ingredients

• 4 pieces large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup zucchini (diced)
• 1 cup yellow bell pepper (diced)
• 1 small red onion (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and you can easily insert a knife into the center.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and set the vegetable mixture aside.

Step 9

When the potatoes have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

Step 11

Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over each potato.

Step 12

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the vegetables and garnish with fresh chopped basil.

Step 13

Serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if desired.
