i really enjoyed the tortilla de patata we had at the bazaar last week and was craving that wonderful combination of egg & potato, so i threw together this potato & egg concoction. basically, poke holes in some russet potatoes and microwave them for about 8 min. then bake them for 20-30 min in the oven. when they are just cooked, take them out, cut an opening, and scoop out the potato into a bowl. add butter, heavy cream, a little sour cream, salt & pepper to taste, and mash up until it gets a cream consistency. return the potato mixture to the skins, crack an egg in each potato and bake for another 5 min or until you see the whites of the egg turn opaque. garnish with parmesano reggiano, green onions & cilantro.
