Stuffed Potatoes
These are so yummy – and yet you’ve probably never eaten them for dinner. So, imagine stuffing them with dinner items and you’ve got a great supper that is yummy! It's a cool idea for a Saturday night supper. The ideal potatoes are russets but any potatoes on hand will work. Bake at least 4 potatoes at 400º until tender, 1 hour for russets, 50 minutes for sweet potatoes and 30 minutes for new potatoes. Split open, fluff contents with a fork and stuff as desired.
