I made this tonight and it was delicious.

I made this a couple of weeks ago, and it was tasty, but I somehow wrecked the potato skins and had to make it as a baked mashed potato dish instead.

I was frustrated! The potatoes kept feeling too hard, and then suddenly I think they were overdone, and that's why they fell apart when I tried to scoop the insides out.

Very yummy, though.
