These are so easy to make and go with just about anything. It's a great change to the usual baked potato. You can use a different kind of cheese if you like. Hope you enjoy.

YUM! These were good; I'll be sure to fix them this winter. I used a wooden spoon, sitting right in front of the potato, while slicing, to preserve the bottom, without slicing through. I sprinkled with buttered panko and fresh grated parmesan, as it is what I had on hand. We enjoyed the crunch from the bread crumbs, and I *may* add some crumbled, crispy bacon next time! :D Thanks for sharing a great recipe, ~Nimz~!
