STUFFED BAKED POTATOES DECONSTRUCTED
My original recipe. I love twice or stuffed baked potatoes, but sometimes they don't come out just right. The insides overcook, the outsides get really crisp. There is no way to save overcooked insides, but the shells are still great, so I dumped the insides, mixed up some potato buds with extras. Then I broiled the hollowed out skins till very crisp. I mixed the Potato Buds with a lot of garlic, sour cream, deli italian cheese blend, and green onions. I then served the soft potatoes as a mash on the plate and cut the very crisp potato skins into "chips" for scooping up the mashed. My 91-year old patient really got a kick out of this and I'm sure kids will too.

Steps:
- Thouroughly wash large russets and bake at 450 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
- Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and scrape out potato, leavine a scant 1/8 inch of potato on skin.
- If your potato is baked perfectly, feel free to use it, rather than using the potato buds. You will need to add some milk and butter to make the right consistancy.
- If using the Potato Buds, prepare according to package directions, but make them a bit thicker by adding an extra 1/4 cup of buds when told to add the buds. You have to do this to compensate for the sour cream which can make your potatoes too thin.
- Add all remaining ingredients to your potato and mix well.
- Place the 4 halves of potato skin under broiler and broil until very crisp, watch closely to avoid burning. You can lower the rack to keep from burning.
- Tear or cut the crisp potato skins into "chips".
- Place the "potato mash" on plate, garnish with some chives and serve the "chips" to scoup up the potato. I actually stuck the skin chips into the mash at odd angles, it looked kinda cool.
- *****This is one of the oddest things I have ever dreamed up, but it is good.

- Scrub the potatoes well before baking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done baking when they are soft to the touch and a fork can easily be inserted into the center.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before stuffing them: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming too mushy.
- Be creative with your fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so feel free to experiment and find your favorite combinations.
