Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce each potato in a few spots; place directly on rack in oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 350°F (180°C).
Allow potatoes to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the Lactantia® Tomato Basil butter and sauté shallots for about 2 minutes or when it becomes translucent.
Add prosciutto and garlic; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Carefully slice top of potato off for about 1/2- inch (1 cm) down and scoop out flesh into a large bowl.
Leave enough potato on the skins so that they do not collapse.
Mash potato with a fork or potato masher and stir in prosciutto mixture, 1/4 cup (60 ml) Lactantia® Tomato Basil butter, and Lactantia® cream cheese.
Spoon mixture back into the skins, mounding slightly and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Melt remaining butter and drizzle over potatoes to serve!
Garnish with chopped basil, if using.
