Sunday Baked Potatoes

By cwyorkiex3

For a creamy filling with a different flavor, Grandma often substituted sour cream for the cottage cheese and chopped fresh dill for the parsley. In the summer, she often made sour cream and green onion potatoes by substituting sour cream for the cottage cheese and 2 or 3 tablespoons chopped green onions for the regular onion.
