If you have smaller potatoes you can scrub the skin clean and toss the in a pot to boil. When the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or knife remove and then cut in half or quarters. Scour the exposed potatoe and apply small amount of butter or margarine. Add desired toppings I generally use sharp cheddar cheese for my family and you can even add bacon bits if you want....toss in oven on baking sheet, or in the microwave on a plate for speed to melt the cheese. My kids and Husband loves them. Also it is a good snack or side dish.

when we first tried this recipe the potato shells fell apart so we ended up making it into a mashed potato-type dish. i would also suggest to use less salt because ours came out very salty.

I used half mashed cauliflower and half potato to make it more healthy also. I waited to tell my family until they ate it all. My 11 year old son gasped when I told him he ate cauliflower. I also added fat free/lowfat sour cream.

I have tried a recipe similar to this one. You can also add some chicken broth(substitute for butter) and some grilled chicken breast strips. It tastes great and is more filling.

great idea for a quick meal but try the stuffed potatoes with home made cheese sauce very yummy for your tummy.

Great recipe, but a bit bland. I added sour cream as well, and some sauteed onions. Also more salt, and some pepper.

These were great. I added some sour cream as well. I also cooked a couple of pieces of bacon and cut those up and mixed that in.

I liked these but I added a little no fat sour cream as well.
