1 1/2 lb red potatoes (about 15 small)
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 c hellmann's or best food real mayonnaise
1/2 c green onions, sliced

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. On large baking sheet, arrange potatoes and bake 35 minutes or until tender. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

4. Arrange filled shells on baking sheet and broil 3 minutes or until golden and heated through.
