We both enjoyed these and my partner liked it enough to eat the left over 'stuffing' on its own too. I would say it is more 'spiced' than 'spicy' which is great for me because I don't like really spicy things. My potatoes were a bit small so, rather than cutting them in half I cut a hole in the top and scooped out the middle and restuffed them like a twice backed potato. The only other change I made was that we ran out of yogurt and I didn't know it until I had started cooking. So, I used fat free sour cream instead and it still worked well. Made for ZWT4.
