Prep time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Potatoes may be filled ahead of time, covered and refrigerated until ready to bake. If made ahead, add 3 to 4 tbsp. more milk to prevent drying, and increase baking to about 20 min. Stuffed potatoes may also be heated in the microwave oven for 3 to 4 min. on full power.

Ingredients

• 4 large hot baked potatoes
• 1/2 c. hot milk
• 2 green onions, minced, green tops included
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine
• 1 tsp. salt
• dash cayenne pepper
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 can (7 1/2 oz.) tuna, drained
• 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• parsley and lemon slices for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Cut a thin slice from one flat side of each potato. Scoop out the interior of the potato into a bowl. Mash, adding the hot milk; whip until fluffy. Add the green onions, egg and butter, whipping mixture well. Season with salt and cayenne. Fold in tomato and tuna. Pile this mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it high (shells will be heaped up almost 3 inches higher). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place on baking pan. Bake at 400° for 10 min. or until potatoes are heated through.
