SOME TIPS TO MAKE GREAT STUFFED POTATOES

If you need to save time, you can cook the potatoes in a pot or in a microwave instead of baking them. Cook them in salted water until they are tender, approximately 30 minutes (to check that they are done, it is best to use a toothpick). They should not be overcooked to prevent them from falling apart.

Eat them when they are freshly made, as this is the best way to enjoy them. You can prepare the stuffed potatoes recipe the day before by putting them aside in the refrigerator, without the last baking (gratin).

Serve them with a salad as a side dish. A light salad of lettuce, tomato and red onion would be perfect.
