Parmesan & Chive Stuffed Potatoes image

Delicious stuffed "twice-baked" potatoes... makes a nice side dish for many entrees, and the attractive presentation would be suitable for entertaining. Can be prepared in advance and frozen, and you can cut down on prep time by initially "baking" the potatoes in the microwave.

  • Use the peelings to line six cups in a muffin tin.
  • Grate the potatoes into a bowl, and gently stir with remaining ingredients until well-blended.
  • Mixtrue should be moist enough to hold together when pressed, not dry and crumbly.
  • If it is dry, add a Tbsp.
  • more milk and olive oil.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or soup spoon, fill the muffin tin potato cups with the grated potato mixture.
  • Pack firmly and then mound the tops for an attractive presentation.
