Bake potatoes at 400F for 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from oven, cut potatoes in half, and scoop out centers with a spoon or melon baller, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of flesh and skin. Place potato flesh in a bowl, along with milk, herbs, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese. Stir to mash lightly and mix well; set aside. Place potato shells in a baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Divide refried beans among shells, top with olives, and fill with potato-cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining cheese over tops. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese melts and filling has heated through. Makes 8 chalupas.
