USEFUL TIPS ON STUFFED BAKED POTATOES

• Stuffed potatoes are almost completely baked, a lid is cut off or the potato is halved horizontally, most of the flesh scooped out, mashed and then mixed with the filling.
• The filling is then returned to the shell and the potato is baked again either with or without the lid.
• Always take care not to puncture the skin and try to do the scooping and filling quickly so that the skin doesn't have a chance to go baggy.
• Stuffed baked potatoes are marvelously versatile and can be served as an appetizer, as a complementary side dish, as a complete light meal or with a crisp salad.
• They are exceptionally useful vehicles for using up leftovers.
• A meal composed of 4 or 5 potato skins stuffed with different fillings is particularly popular with children.

To fill 4 potatoes

• 4 pig's kidneys, with fat and core removed butter
• Salt, pepper, mustard as per own preference

1. Cut the uncooked potatoes in half lengthways.
2. The idea is to encase the kidney totally in the potato, so scoop out an appropriate sized cavity.
3. Season the cavity and the kidney, fit everything together and secure with a piece of string.
