Steps for preparing tuna stuffed potatoes
First, wash the potatoes. Look for potatoes of the same size to ensure even cooking. Then steam them in a pressure cooker. Once they are cooked, let them cool and remove the skin.
Scoop out the potatoes to form “boats”, collecting the removed part in a bowl. Add the drained tuna, stracchino, desalted and coarsely chopped capers, and parsley. Mix everything together.
Salt the potatoes and fill them with the tuna and stracchino mixture. Put them in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before serving.
Storage
You can store the potatoes in the fridge for a day.
