Twice Baked Potatoes

Wash 4-5 Russet potatoes and place on a plate in the microwave. Cook for 6-8 minutes until they are soft if you pierce them with a fork. Slice them open and scoop all the yummy guts out. (Either wait for a while or hold them with a hot pad so you don't burn your hand!)

In a bowl combine the potato insides, 2-3 TBSP butter, and 1 cup grated cheese. Mash and stir until well combined. Salt and pepper to taste. You may need to add a bit more butter or cheese. Scoop the mashed combination back into the potato shells, just add until they all look even. Place on a tinfoil covered baking sheet and bake at 350* until the cheese is melted and everything is golden brown and crispy about 30 mins. (I bet you could broil them if you are in a hurry!) If you are having them with the meatloaf just put them on the bottom rack of your oven during the last half of your meatloaf baking time.

Add more potatoes if 2-3 halves per person isn't enough. We always have leftovers with 5 potatoes.
