Loved it and so did the whole family. So easy and did take advice of using the microwave first. Thanks

Love this recipe. It was so easy, not much more effort than the microwave and the taste is so much better. Even the skin came out crispy and yummy. I've done this several times now - the first exactly as listed (great) and then with differant toppings added AFTER they were done - once a caper-sour cream and another salsa and cheese - no matter how it's done it's been great. Thanks for a great recipe.

Anything that is potato is good! I do mine a little differntly so I hope you don't mind that I share. I cook the potatoes in the microwave first then I squash them. I pan fry them in olive oil and top with shredded cheddar, bacon bits and green onion. Lovely recipe!!

We loved these potatoes. They are crispy on the outside with tender potato inside. The directions are well written and easy to follow. This was served with steam vegetables and Simple and Healthy Poached Salmon for a delicious meal. Made for PAC Spring 2008.
