twice baked potatoes

This is a great family dinner dish. It looks like there are a lot of steps and it might take a long time, BUT, if you work with a cousin or an auntie and you have fast hands, the prep work is halved. Use nice big potatoes. Use oven mitts to cut the potatoes in 1/2 and to hold the 1/2 while you scoop it- potatoes gets firm again as they cool, so do it while they are hot! Don't let them cool with the flesh inside! And try different cheeses- at the family night we did an old aged cheddar. For myself, I used some goat feta and some firm gratable goat cheese with a bit of dill in the mix, too.
