Ingredients

• 4 Large russet potatoes
• 200 grams Brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Place the potatoes directly onto the oven rack or onto a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

While the potatoes bake, prepare the Brie by cutting off the rind (optional) and gently slicing the cheese into small pieces.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes), just enough to handle them comfortably.

Step 6

Slice each potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut entirely through to the bottom. Gently scoop out most of the potato flesh using a spoon, leaving a thin layer inside the skin to hold its shape.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, unsalted butter, heavy cream, half of the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture until creamy and smooth.

Step 8

Fold in the Brie cheese pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potato mixture.

Step 9

Fill the hollowed potato skins with the Brie and mashed potato mixture, creating a slight mound on top.

Step 10

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the Brie is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
