Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 pinch paprika
• 2 potatoes
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 green onion, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave until fork-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Place potatoes on a flat work surface. Slice each potato in half; scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving only the skins. Flatten the skins into a single layer in an 8-inch baking pan.

Step 4

Mash the potato flesh. Mix in eggs, Cheddar cheese, butter, green onion, garlic, turmeric, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Layer the mixture over the potato skins.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.
