1 handful fresh basil leaves

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Using a fork prick some holes into the potatoes, rub them in the olive oil and bake in the oven for 50 minutes until cooked and soft. Turn them over halfway through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing in half and scooping out the filling into a bowl. Place the skins back into the oven for 10 minutes.
Crush the garlic and add it to the bowl with the potato filling, along with the chopped tomatoes, dried oregano, salt and ½ of the mozzarella. Thinly slice ¾ of the basil and add to the bowl. Combine well.
Remove the skins from the oven and stuff with the mixture. Top with the remaining mozzarella and place back into the oven for 20 minutes. Garnish with the remaining fresh basil to serve.
