Salt<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc tsp. freshly ground pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preheat oven to 475\u00b0. Bake potatoes first by placing them on baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Bake until tender and slightly crispy, 45-50 min.; test with knife or fork. Remove and let cool, leaving the oven on.<\/p>\n<p>Cut each potato in half. If the ends are uneven, cut off a thin slice on the bottom so they will stand upright once filled. Scoop out the pulp from each half, leaving only a thin shell of pulp; reserve the pulp for another use. Return the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Potato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potato<\/a> shells to the baking sheet, hollow sides down, and brush the skins with olive oil. Bake until crisp, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce the oven temperature to 425\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>While the potatoes are cooling, make the stuffing. In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and saut\u00e9, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, 5-7 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring, 5 minutes longer. Add tomatoes, garlic, basil, and vinegar; continue cooking until the liquid evaporates and the eggplant is soft, about 5-10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Spoon filling in the hollowed out potatoes and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Serves 10 to 12 as an appetizer, 6 to 8 as a side dish.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serve these delicious little bite-sized potatoes, savory treats as an appetizer the next time you entertain.
