INSTRUCTIONS
a). For Mashed Potatoes: Peel potatoes and cut into chunks (about 2
inches square). Boil in salted water for about 20 minutes -- until
tender. Drain potatoes and place back in pot. Proceed as below: 1b).
For Baked Double-stuffed : Wash potatoes well and prick with a fork.
Bake for about 1 hour at 425 degrees (until done). Cut potatoes in
half lengthwise and scoop out insides. Put potato pulp into a large
bowl and proceed per below directions: 2). Mash potatoes with butter,
then stir in milk and cheeses. (If serving "fussy eaters", you may
want to puree cottage cheese before adding -- I don't usually do this,
but it made for a smoother texture the one time that I tried it) Stir
in sour cream and desired seasonings. (I often use seasoned salt and a
pinch of Cajun seasoning.) 3a). Serve immediately as mashed potatoes
or... 3b). Place in a 8" square casserole dish that has been sprayed
with cooking oil spray. Sprinkle with paprika and bake uncovered at
350 degrees for about 30 minutes for potato casserole or... 3c). Fill
each potato skin, place on baking sheet, sprinkle with Paprika and
bake for approximately 20-30 mins at 350 to 425 degrees (depending on
what else you have cooking in the oven). I have yet to try freezing
these; but I imagine that the casserole and the skins would both
freeze well. (I might consider leaving out the sour cream if
freezing.) I'm not sure how long they would take to reheat from the
frozen state. I would try 350 degrees and check on the double-stuffs
after 35 mins and the casserole after 45 mins. JaneStarr@home.com in
