Bills Unbelievable Double Stuffed Potatoes

Submitted by bill mayes

"In my middle age period I was lucky enough to have a boat, cool boat. During the summer weekends we cruised the Chesapeake Bay with another couple. One of the easiest meals was this one. We could make it before we left the Patomac river and have them that night after happy hour. You could always add fresh seafood before we reheated them. It was a staple for the 15 years we owned the boat. Enjoy!!"

We made these in the morning and microwaved them in the evening -- a little brutal but in line with what the chef suggested. It didn't look like much, but you'll be sold on the first bite, especially if you're the sort who likes garlic and sour cream in your potatoes. Tasty and filling, storable and portable, all it tries to be! Made for Pick A Chef, April 2009.
