Prep time: 18 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves 4
Ingredients

• 4 Russet potatoes
• Olive oil cooking spray
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the filling:

1. 3/4 cup buttermilk
2. 3/4  cup plain whole milk, Greek yoghurt or sour cream
3. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4. 2 tbsp melted butter
5. 1/4 cup prepared pesto
6. 1/2 tsp garlic powder
7. 1/2 cup shredded parmesan, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top

2. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork.
3. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through to the centre.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle with your hands.
5. To make the potato shells, use the paring knife to cut the potato in half lengthwise.
6. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from each half into the large bowl, leaving a 1/4” layer of potato to hold the shape of the shell.
7. Place the shell back on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat the process for the other potato halves.
