Review it

easy

Recipe by: ChefTony

A creamy match of flavors between spicy cream cheese and cool avocado.

Ready in 1 hour 10 mins

Added to favorites by 3 cooks

Ingredients

Serves: 4

4 Russet potatoes
6 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon sriracha (or other hot sauce), or to taste
2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.

While potatoes are baking, mix cream cheese with sriracha in a large bowl.

Split potatoes open, allow to cool slightly, then top each with 1 1/2 ounces of the cream cheese mixture and a quarter of the sliced avocado. Serve with additional sriracha, if desired.

Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
