Twice-baked potatoes have a notoriously bad reputation as fried food topped with bacon, cheese, and sour cream—no more. This version makes a hearty, healthy meal filled with black beans, corn, and spices and is well worth the effort. This recipe will leave you with some leftover potato flesh, which you can use to thicken soups or stews or as a side for another meal.

Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
- 1 red bell pepper, diced small
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
- One 10-ounce package frozen corn
- One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, more or less to taste
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- One 12-ounce package extra firm silken tofu, drained
- ½ cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Rinse and scrub the potatoes. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Let cool.
- Saute´ the onions and red pepper in a large skillet 7 to 8 minutes until the onions start to brown. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetable from sticking. Add the jalapeno peppers, garlic, cumin, and chile powder, and sauté another minute. Add the corn, black beans, sea salt and cilantro.
- Puree the silken tofu in a food processor or blender. Add the tofu to the vegetable mixture and mix well.
- When the potatoes are cool, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the inside, leaving a ¼-inch wide rim. Reserve the flesh for another use. Divide the filling evenly between the potato halves and bake for 30 minutes. Serve garnished with chopped green onion.

(5 from 1 vote)These were really good but also wondering if your meant to add back the potato filling?
Hi Robyn, Glad you enjoyed the recipe! No, you don't use the scooped out potato—you can save that for another use.
Are we supposed to mix the veggie mix with the scooped-out potato?
Hi Becca, Reserve the scooped out potato for another use. We've updated the instructions to make this clear. Thanks, and enjoy!
Great baked potatoes
