Very tasty taters!! I loved the flavor of the stuffing, I had never done potatoes with sage before and it was great. I should have cooked the potatoes longer, but the man said he liked them that way. This would be a great way just to do regular mashed potatoes too. We had grilled steaks and salad with them and it was quite a meal!!

These are yummy! I used the smaller gourmet red and purple potatoes and served them as bite-size holiday appetizers. Got rave reviews!
