Sunday's Plate


Here is an interesting idea I found on Cooking.com. It's a recipe for two potatoes - sweet and russet.

You either bake both potatoes in the traditional oven for 60-70 minutes, or you can nuke them in the microwave.

For two, it's just two potatoes, so the microwave makes sense, but if you're going to make this for a crowd, it's definitely an oven gig.

You bake both sweet and russet potatoes, and then you cut them long ways. You dig out half the potato in each casing without spoiling the skins. Mash both kinds of potatoes separately, mixing in your favorite extras like sour cream, onions, bacon, cheese. Put the mashed potatoes back into the skins filling half the casing with each potato.

Not only is this pretty, but it's nutritious. Reheat the potatoes if necessary - might add some grated cheese!
