Stuffed Baked Potatoes

You can bake or boil your potatoes. Boiling will make the first part of this dish go faster, but baking them adds even more flavour. You want the potatoes tender but don't cook them until they're falling apart. Let them cool enough so that you can handle them before scooping out the flesh.

If you're feeling really naughty, you could add some homemade bacon bits and extra sour cream to these.

Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Makes 5-10 servings (I can eat a whole potato, how about you?)

Ingredients

• 5 medium boiled or baked potatoes, whole with skin on
• 1/4 cup sour cream

• sprinkle of the following spices
• paprika, garlic salt, pepper, dill
• 3/4 cup shredded cheese of choice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Cut the potatoes in half then scoop out the flesh leaving enough flesh to hold the shape of the skin.
3. Mash the flesh with the sour cream, butter, parmesan and scallion. Fill the skins with this mashed potato mixture. Place the potatoes in a glass baking dish.
4. Mix the spices together then sprinkle the spice mix over the potatoes. Top with some shredded cheese.
