Roasted Potatoes with Grape Mincemeat
Notes: Bake the potatoes (through step 3) up to 1 day ahead; cool, cover pan, and chill. To reheat, bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven until potatoes are hot, about 5 minutes.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Scrub potatoes and cut each in half. With a melon-baller or a spoon, scoop out a well in each potato half, leaving a shell 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Reserve scooped-out potato for other uses.
Step 2
2
Lightly oil a 10- by 15-inch pan. Arrange potatoes in a single layer, cut sides up, in pan. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil total.
Step 3
3
Bake in a 400° oven for 20 minutes, then turn potatoes over and bake until cut sides are lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Step 4
4
Meanwhile, heat mincemeat in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until hot, about 1 minute, stirring once.
Step 5
5
Spoon mincemeat equally into potatoes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
