Ingredients
- 4
medium russet potatoes (10 to 12 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup
olive oil, plus more for the potatoes
- 2
garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp.
dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp.
red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
- 1 cup
marinara sauce, warmed
- 1 1/2 cups
shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup
grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup
parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup
prepared pesto
Directions
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, rub with a little olive oil and bake on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
- Step 2When the potatoes are almost done, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the oregano, red pepper flakes and salt.
- Step 3Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and preheat the broiler. Split open the potatoes lengthwise; press the ends together to open them up. Return to the baking sheet and drizzle with the garlic oil. Use a fork to mash the oil into the potatoes. Top with the marinara sauce and sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Top each potato with a spoonful of pesto.
