Potato boats with meat
Description
Potato boats can be prepared with meat, poultry, fish, and even cottage cheese! This dish is perfect as an appetizer for a festive table. It combines both a side dish and a main course at the same time. Various mixtures also work well. For example, you can combine ground meat with herbs and rice, and chicken with egg and cheese.

Step 1
Our potato boats will be filled with minced meat that I happened to have in the freezer. First, let's defrost it at room temperature. You can use a microwave if you prefer. I decided to place it in warm water, wrapped in a plastic bag. This way, it will defrost more naturally. Meanwhile, I'll peel and chop the onion. Once the meat is defrosted, I'll season it with salt and pepper, then mix it together with the chopped onion.

Step 2
I peel the potatoes. It's better if they are larger, or at least not the smallest ones, so there's enough room for the filling. I cut a small hole in the potato with a knife.

Step 3
Now we need to fill the indentations made in the potatoes with the stuffing. I grease the baking tray with vegetable oil and place the potatoes on it. Put the tray with potatoes in the oven at 150-170 degrees for 40 minutes.

Step 4
Ten minutes before it's done, I pour yogurt over the potatoes. You can use sour cream or mayonnaise for this. Now I increase the oven temperature to about 190-200 degrees and bake the dish until it forms an appetizing crust. A couple of these potatoes can easily satisfy your hunger for the whole day.
