Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 12 oz Andouille sausage
• 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Chicken stock
• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 2

While the potatoes are baking, slice the andouille sausage into thin rounds and cook them in a large skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking continuously to make a roux. Cook the roux for 5-6 minutes until it turns a rich caramel color.

Step 4

Add the diced onion, celery, and bell pepper to the roux. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables have softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken stock, whisking to combine. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken, shrimp, and browned sausage to the skillet. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

Step 8

Spoon the gumbo mixture generously over each potato. Top with sliced green onions and chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gumbo Potatoes!
