Eggs in a Spud

This is a tasty recipe from Alberta Egg Producers. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-8
• Yields: 8 half spuds

Ingredients

• 4  large baking potatoes, hot

• 8  eggs
•  fresh parsley or  chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. Cut potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out about half of the pulp from each potato half. Reserve potato flesh for another use - maybe mashed potatoes for dinner.
