Tuna Stuffed Cheesy Potatoes Recipes

TUNA STUFFED CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Bake your potatoes about an hour or so, or until you can press a fork right into them. Let them cool. Careful not to get them too soft, or you will have some trouble with the next part. Note: Often we simply microwave the potatoes so the whole process goes faster, this way I can have dinner on the table in about a half hour or so.
• Slice the potatoes in half and spoon out the potato filling out of each halve into a bowl. Leave about 1/4" thickness of potato around the edge (like you were making potato skins) so that the shell stays together.
• Mash or break up the potatoes a little with a fork, and then add the mayonnaise, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, black olives, mushrooms, green onion, green pepper and tuna. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix or mash it all together with a fork lightly.
• Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into each half potato skin.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Place on a baking pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and everything is hot.
• Serve immediately. Top with sour cream, bacon, chives or whatever else you want, or serve alone like we do.
• These even taste good as leftovers straight out of the fridge the next day or reheated. Yum!
