Tips
- Variation: For Baked Stuffed Potatoes, bake potatoes in oven or microwave until tender. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out potatoes, leaving 1/8-inch shell. Prepare potato mixture as directed; fill potato shells with mixture. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 350°F 25 minutes or until hot.
