Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Have you ever had a samosa?  Considered Indian food, they are little deep fried shells that are filled with a mixture of mashed potato, onion, green peas, spices and green chili. They are usually served with a little sauce on the side as well. They are SO delicious. My friend recommended trying a samosa the first time I ever had Indian food, and I was hooked since then.  They are seriously the perfect little appetizer, but unfortunately they aren’t too little (they are kind of large, stuffed triangles), and they fill you up. So while you are eating those, your other food is cooking, and then you have no room for the main course! That is a problem for me, because I LOVE Indian food, and I always want to eat the most possible (seriously).  Lately I find myself splitting a samosa when I go out, which is a lot less food, so I have more room for the main course…works like a charm! Use the EASY AIR FRYER METHOD to bake these potatoes!

Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes

So anyway, I was looking up ways to make samosas at home, but I don’t really like frying food. There are versions where you can bake the outside, and those look promising, but then I had an idea to do a play on the samosa, using just a baked potato.  I probably could have used a baked sweet potato to make it even healthier, but for the first try, I wanted to use a real potato since that’s what is used when making a real samosa. I am glad I did, because it came out really delicious. This larger russet potato is so filling that this is all you need as your main dish. You can serve some sides with it if you want, but one potato each was more than enough for my husband and I. 

Two of the star ingredients, ginger and curry powder, are absolute musts in this recipe.

Samosa Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 2 large potatoes
  • ½ onion diced
  • 2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 teaspoon minced ginger
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • olive oil
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • ¾ cup peas cooked
  • 3 TBS butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • Plain Greek yogurt for topping
Instructions
  1. 1. Wash potatoes, and pierce with fork. Bake directly on oven rack at 400 degrees, for one hour.
  2. 2. While potatoes cook, saute onions, curry, ginger, and mustard in olive oil over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3. Carefully remove potatoes from oven using oven mitts, and split lengthwise (but don't cut all the way in half). Carefully scoop out insides into a bowl. Add onion mixture, cilantro, peas, and butter, and mash with a potato masher or fork until most lumps are gone. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Fill the potato with mixture, top with yogurt and cilantro, and serve.
Recipe Notes

Each potato serves 1 person as a main dish, but these could also be split in half and served as sides. Double to recipe for 4 full servings.

    I love samosas, but I never cook them because they seem a little complicated. These looks so good and easy! I will have to give them a try!

      I totally agree! I love them, but it is daunting thinking about those little shells and deep frying! I hope you like this healthy version!

    This seems like it would be a good introduction to Indian food for my family! I know we have chatted about how I want to try Indian food, but am just not sure where to start. This seems like a familiar way to get to try the flavors, and one that my 3 year old will be up for trying, too!

    I have made this recipe several times now (in fact it will be dinner tonight) and share with others all the time. It's easy and delicious and I almost always have everything on hand except the potatoes themselves.
