Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them with a fork a few times. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 1 hour or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
-
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the tuna filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, dill pickles, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skins.
-
Add the scooped-out potato flesh to the tuna mixture and gently fold everything together until combined. The mixture should be creamy and well incorporated.
-
Fill each potato skin with the tuna mixture, mounding it slightly on top. Sprinkle the stuffed potatoes with shredded Cheddar cheese.
-
Place the filled potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through, remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
