TBT: stuffed potatoes

Today's experiment came from my new/old cookbook and you might be wondering what's so 'throw-back' about a stuffed potato but wait for it...

are you ready to hear what it's stuffed with?...

PEANUT BUTTER!!!

I was flipping thru the cookbook when this caught my eye, I happened to have a leftover baked potato in the fridge so didn't do exactly like the instructions said but tested it with half of the potato just to taste what a peanut butter stuffed potato would taste like. Guess what? It's really good!!

STUFFED POTATOES ON THE HALF-SHELL

Select large potatoes; scrub and bake. Remove from oven and cut potatoes in two lengthwise. Scoop out the inside, being careful to not break the shell. Mash very thoroughly or put them through the rice -- add butter, salt and milk, and beat well. Pile the mixture lightly back into the shells. Do not smooth down the top. Stand the filled shells in a shallow pan, return to the oven (400') and brown lightly on top. Tuck in small wieners before serving if desired, or add 1/2 cup peanut butter and 2 eggs whites to the potato mixture.

from 'The American Woman's Cookbook'

note: I didn't beat the potato filling, just mashed with a fork; it would be prettier if the filling was light and fluffy like mashed potatoes. I also didn't add egg whites, just the peanut butter.
