This is one of the BEST recipes I have found on this site! I bake the potatoes for more like 45 minutes after i take the garlic out so that they bake for about 90 minutes and then i empty and mash them up. Make sure to use a potato masher if you have one so that everything is nice and creamy before you stuff them! I make it for EVERYONE that comes over to dinner!
