Ingredients
12 small redskin potatoes2 ears corn, shucked1/4 cup red pepper hummus 3 green onions, finely chopped
Directions
Fill a medium saucepan with water, bring to a boil, and add the potatoes. Simmer until tender, about 16-18 minutes. Remove from heat and place under cold running water to stop the cooking process.

Meanwhile, preheat a grill to moderate-high heat. Lightly spray the corn with non-stick cooking spray. Grill the corn for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then cut the corn from the cob.

Sliced cooled potatoes in half, and use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the center. Leave enough potato around the sides to support the filling. Set aside the potato "innards."

Place the hummus in a piping or plastic bag. Pipe 1/2 teaspoon of hummus into each potato. Top with the corn and onion.

Makes 24 halves; 2 pieces per serving.

     This was a delightful side to have on Christmas Eve. We didn't want to deal with grilling the corn, so pan fried some unsalted canned corn with chopped onion in olive oil spray. It was a huge hit! - 12/27/11

     Good question about the "innards" of the potato. Do you mix them in with the corn and hummus and then stuff the skins??? - 11/14/11

    Thanks for your comment. You set aside the innards. It's up to you whether you discard them or use them in another dish (omelet filling, for example).

     great recipe - you can also use frozen corn kernels grilled in an iron skillet - just spray the skillet or grill pan and they will dry out and blacken as you want... - 12/15/11

     Looking forward to making these - not for appetizers but as a fun, nutritional topping on a bed of fresh greens and raw spinach. Put a couple spritzes of olive oil over the whole thing and bam! A great meal! - 12/21/11

     Just the recipe I've been looking for and I appreciate the answer about the innards (I'm from the south and that's what we call 'em, too). Thank you Chef - 12/15/11

     So what do you do with the potato "innards"? Did you leave out a step? - 8/23/11
