Reuben Stuffed Potatoes (Rachael Ray)

Saw her make this on her TV show and had to give it a go. The recipe was originally intended to use baby potatoes as an appetizer, but I turned it into a main dish, with slight modifications.

5. Meanwhile, place potatoes into a large pot of salted water and bring up to a boil.
6. Let potatoes boil for about 20 minutes,or until tender.

11. Mash potato flesh in a large bowl with milk, sour cream, mustard, cheese and onion and mix in the corned beef mixture.
12. Season with a bit more salt and pepper to taste.
13. Divide the filling among the hollowed-out potatoes and place them onto a baking pan.
