directions

1. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.
2. Scoop out filling being careful not to break the skins.

I made these with some huge Yukon Gold potatoes I found at a farmer's market and they were fantastic. I left out the onions and used up some cheese I had in the fridge, which was an Italian blend of 3 cheeses (Kraft bag, ya know?). I had a feeling these were going to be good so I made extra to store in the freezer and I'm glad I did that....for those days where I just don't feel like busting my butt over dinner. I had to leave out the onions, the husband doesn't like them but the smoked Hungarian bacon that I added really made this one cool hot potato! Thanks for posting Bev, we loved it and we'll be enjoying this again for sure.

Yum, these were a great part of our Valentine's dinner. Next time I'll make extra and freeze some.

These were fantastic!!! My whole family loved them, I made 9 potatoes and had to double the recipe I used colby cheddar 'cause it's what I had. The flavor was a meld of different flavors that really complimented one another. This is definatly going to be a new favorite in our house hold! Thanks for sharing this!

Delicious! The only thing I did different was using fresh garlic. Served them with grilled chicken and a salad.
