Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"These potatos really live up to there name, they ARE fluffy and what I think to be, one of the best recipes for twice baked potatoes. I'm certain you will agree once you try them! Prep time does not include baking the potatoes (which is about 1 hour baking time)."

directions

1. Cut a thin slice from the top of the potato and discard.
