Baked Potatoes With Tuna and Cheese
"I'm not a tuna salad lover so I wasn't sure about this recipe when I first ran across it but since there's no mayo, it's not anything like tuna salad -- at least not to me.
Cooking and prep time does NOT include the time for baking the potatoes since the time varies greatly depending on whether you use the oven, microwave or crock pot for baking the potatoes initially."

Made these last night for dinner and wow were they good! I only had small potatoes so there were three to four on each plate, they looked cute. Used green onions for some color in the filling and sprinkled some on top of the cheese before baking. I also added a dash of garlic powder. As we were munching on them I realized I had forgotten to add the mayo! Guess I'll just have to make them again. This is an easy dish to make ahead. Thanks. -
Never occurred to me to add tuna to a stuffed potato. Quite appetizing and a hit with my tuna lovers. So happy. -
Loved these! Although what's not to love? Cheese, potatoes, heaven. :)

This is a really tasty dish. So fast and easy. I would never have thought of mixing tuna in with potatoes, but it works really well. I think next time I'll change to green onions just to give it a bit more colour. Other than that, this recipe is great just the way it is written. Thanks Twig #2. Made for PAC Spring 2009

<p>I've been married to my husband since Leap Day 1992. We met at Clark AB, Republic of the Philippines, at the terminal when we were both trying to get home on leave. Once we got back to Clark, it took a year before we started dating. We told all our friends that we weren't serious about one another. They told us we were. 4 years later, we found out they were right. <br /> <br />Our food tastes couldn't have been more different. I grew up with bland foods since my mother never had been exposed to spicy foods. He loved HEAT. Slowly we've grown more alike in our food tastes but the day he ate a brussel sprout in front of me nearly ended our relationship. *laugh* <br /> <br />He's retired from the Air Force, I got out after 4 years in, so we're both civilian again. <br /> <br />We are the parents of 2 wonderful girls and a super handsome boy-- all dogs. In my spare time I knit and spin. <br /> <br /> <br /> </p>
