Pizza-potatoes - not so naughty fast food!

Another easy-peasy recipe from our friend Attila Hildmann, as tasty as comfort food can be but pretty healthy ... a bit like jacked potatoes but with a twist!


You will need pretty big potatoes, which you will boil for about 30 minutes in salty water, until almost cooked. Once they are done, let them cool down until you can handle them, then cut them in two length-wise and scoop the flesh out with a spoon, until you have some nice potato shells, which you will soon fill with some goodies ... Keep the potato "flesh", as this is the base for your filling!

In the meantime, cut an onion, some garlic and a red pepper and pan-fried them with the spices of your choice until nice and soft. Add some finely chopped sundried tomatoes and olives and take the lot away from the heat. (I guess you can go crazy and add loads of other ingredients, too ... or make different pizza toppings!)

At this point, you will need to mash your potato "flesh" and make it tasty with salt, pepper, oregano, some chilli if you like it ... add your pan-fried goodies and mix well ... if too firm, just add a little bit of oil or some veggie milk (almond, soy  what you have) ...

Oil the shells from the outside and add a little bit of salt, then fill them with your topping and line them up on an oven tray ... a little bit of almond mousse and nutritional yeast on the top (to mimic the cheese that we are NOT going to use ...) and 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven (200°C will do, some grill at the end if you like the crust) ... they are great to be eaten on the sofa watching TV ... or with some green salad, if you are more civilised than us!!
