- 6 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
- Olive oil, for rubbing potatoes
- 3/4 pound(s) fresh chorizo sausage, removed from casings
- 1/4 cup(s) pimientos, drained
- 1/4 cup(s) whole milk
- 2 tablespoon(s) whole milk, combined with above
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 ounce(s) goat cheese
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prick top of each potato a few times with a fork and rub with olive oil.
Place potatoes directly on oven rack and bake until easily pierced with a paring knife, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium heat, cook chorizo until browned and crumbly and fat is rendered into pan, about 10 minutes. Stir in pimientos and cook for 2 more minutes. Set aside.
Using a serrated knife, halve potatoes lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out flesh from all 12 halves into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch border of flesh inside potato skins. Place potato-skin shells in a medium baking dish and set aside.
Mash scooped-out potato flesh with a fork. Stir in milk and butter until mixture is smooth. Crumble goat cheese into potatoes and stir until just combined. Fold in sausage mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Divide potato filling among potato-skin shells and bake until heated through and tops begin to brown, about 20 minutes.
