Potato Boats

Total Time: 1 hr 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 dash milk
• 1 (10 ounce) can campbell's cheddar cheese soup

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.
• 2 while preheating, wash the potatoes.
• 3 after preheating, place the potatoes in the oven for 60 minutes. do not wrap the potatoes in foil; you do not want the shell to get soft. test the doneness of the potato by sticking a fork or thin-bladed knife into it. if it does not come out cleanly, cook it longer.
• 4 remove the potatoes and cut them length-wise.
• 5 scoop out the insides with a spoon and place in a bowl suitable for mixing. save the shells ("boats"). do not scoop it out too close to the skin; otherwise the boats may lose their shape.
• 6 add the butter to the bowl and a little milk.
• 7 mash away. some potatoes get creamy, others don't. it depends on the potato. you do not want it too creamy, but if the mash potatoes are too stiff, add a little more milk.
• 8 put the mashed potatoes back into the boats, leveling off the mash in each boat.
• 9 spread the campbell's cheddar cheese soup on top of each boat. you may need to mix in a little milk with the soup, though usually it is not needed. you will have remaining soup. you can store it for another time.
• 10 place the boats back in the oven for 15-30 minutes at 350 degrees f until they are nice and hot.
