These russet potatoes stuffed with Alouette’s wasabi cheddar spreadable cheese make a tasty side dish.
This is not a sponsored post; however, when food shopping, I like to look for new items that may make planning weeknight meals that much easier. On one of my recent trips, I saw that Alouette came out with a new cheese spread called Wasabi Cheddar.
I’ve used their spreadable cheeses before to stuff mushrooms, pork , creamed corn and adding it to potatoes seemed like a great idea to me so I created these Wasabi-Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes.
Lately, anything wasabi flavored is ok in my book. It’s amazing how your taste buds change over the years because I never liked it before. I LOVED these potatoes and they made a tasty side dish. They were so easy to make too.
I took a shortcut and cooked the potatoes in the microwave before scooping out the flesh and adding the cheese, some milk, butter and scallions; then baked them for about 10 minutes to make sure the cheese was melted and hot. If you like your food with even more heat, increase the amount of cheese you add.
I would have liked more, but my youngest isn’t a huge fan so I wanted to keep them on the mild side. I’d definitely give these Wasabi-Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes a try the next time you’re looking to spice up your side dish offerings. ~Enjoy!
