Method

Cook 2-4 medium-sized potatoes in the micro for 7 to 14 minutes, depending on the number of potatoes you're cooking. Remove from microwave and allow to cool to handle. Cut lengthwise and scoop out some (not all) of the insides. Reserve to bowl. Add approximately 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp Cheez Whiz. Add dried onions (or fresh) and parsley to taste. Add about 1 tbsp of half 'n half cream. Mix together well, and put this mixture back into the potato shells. Bake in oven at 325 degrees F (covered) for ten minutes, then, remove the cover for another twenty minutes, or until the shells are golden brown and firm. Add a few pieces of shredded or finely cut carrots prior to baking.

 

Notes: I don't usually bother measuring ingredients when cooking, because I've cooked for so many wonderful years. I enclose an approximation of the measurements. This makes the plain old spud a delicacy, and it dresses up any main course dish! Prep:20m Cook:30m
