These can be made a day ahead and reheated in the microwave if you like. Four potatoes should be enough for six people, since you're cutting the potatoes in half and the filling is quite rich to begin with.

Ingredients

• 4 medium baking potatoes
• 1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream (for a lower-fat dish, use 1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/3 cup milk)

• 2 to 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup minced onion (if your kids accept it)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (if your kids accept it)
• Salt

Instructions

1. Scrub the potatoes, poke with a fork and bake in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour, or until tender.

2. Split the potatoes in half while they're still hot. Carefully scrape the insides into a large bowl, saving the skins. Add the cheeses, sour cream, onion and garlic. Mash well and add salt to taste.

3. Stuff this mixture back into the potato skins. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the stuffing has brown flecks and the potatoes are heated through. Makes 6 servings.
