Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Potatoes, white

  • 150 ml Sour cream

  • 5 spoon Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 1 spoon Juice, lemon

  • 2 pod Spices, garlic powder

  • 3 twigs Basil, fresh

  • 2 spoons Pine nuts

  • 35 g Cheese, Parmesan, grated

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Thoroughly wash the potatoes under running water and scrub them if necessary. Pierce the skin several times with a fork, then rub the skin with salt. Arrange the potatoes in a smaller baking dish that has been greased with butter. Place the dish in the oven for 70 minutes, until the potato skins become golden brown and crispy.

  2. While the potatoes are baking, peel the garlic. Thoroughly wash the basil, dry it, and chop it finely. Finely chop the pine nuts and grate the Parmesan. Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, placing it in a separate bowl. Mash the potato flesh with a fork.

  3. Place a saucepan on the stove and heat the broth and cream in it. Add the lemon juice, basil, salt, pepper, and two crushed garlic cloves, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and take out the garlic cloves.

  4. Mix the sauce along with the pine nuts into the mashed potatoes and spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out potato halves. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Place the baking dish with the potato boats back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

  5. Serve the potato boats on warmed plates and offer them to your guests as a side dish.
