Somewhat reminescent of twice-baked potatoes but WAY easier! This is a keeper.

I made this for *Zaar World Tour III* - Simple recipe that requires only three ingredients, makes a perfect side dish and it's very versatile. If I made this again, I would add chopped fresh parsley on top on the cream/cheese mixture few minutes before taking it out of the oven, having to say this I think it's still perfect the way it is. Thank you Sussan

Both my girls absolutely loved these potatoes and so did Dave and I - yummo! Thank you Susie, these were fabulous with our lamb roast.
