I really love these baked stuffed potatoes with their crunchy exterior, delicious filling and the amazing unique flavor of fresh lovage that makes you want for more. You can replace the chicken with mushrooms and lovage with parsley or celery leaves. There are so many other options for filling potatoes that you can never get bored of this dish.

Oh, these look fabulous!!! I’ve only made twice baked potatoes for a side dish…but I’d love this for an entree!
These look gorgeous and I am happy to have a whole meal in a potato. I tend to be lazy and fling them in the microwave to ‘bake’ but the results from slow oven baking are so much better.
Oh wow, how yummy does that look?? These kind of remind me of my mom’s twice baked potatoes…they look awesome. Thanks for sharing the recipe
The chicken breast in this makes it – now that’s a hearty potato!
This looks amazing! I absolutely love baked potatoes. I’m going to have to give this a try.
I don’t even know what lovage is, but I LOVE baked potatoes and your pics look amazing!
A glass of lemonade or iced tea is all you need with this. Wonderful dish and pictures.
