4 potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk hot
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, crushed

Scrub potatoes and, if desired, rub with oil. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. With mitts or towel gently roll hot potatoes between palms of hands to soften centers. Carefully cut top off long side of each potato empty contents into medium bowl. With potato masher or electric beater, mash or whip hot potato centers with butter (or margarine) and enough hot milk to make fluffy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pile mixture back into potato cases. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and parsley. Potatoes may be refrigerated or frozen at this point to be baked later at 375 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted. Or they may be baked immediately at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes.
Note: Two slices diced bacon, cooked crisp, may be added to potato filling. Also sauteed sliced green onions or shredded cheddar cheese or both may be added for extra flavor. If cheese is added to the potato, then sprinkle top with parsley and paprika.
