Twice-Baked Potatoes

8 large baking potatoes
3/4 C. milk, warmed
1/2 C. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 C. cheddar cheese
1 tabl. dried onion flakes

Heat oven to 350. Prick potatoes and bake for an hour or more until tender. Cut slice in the top of each potato and scoop out inside leaving thin shells. Place scooped-out potatoes in mixing bowl and slowly add milk, butter and seasonings. Beat well and then stir in cheese and onion flakes. Fill shells with mixture and bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until heated throughout.

M. showed Eli how to mount his camera on our old tripod. So now he's walking around the farm and through the house setting up his tripod and making movies. When I made these potatoes for supper last night, E. filmed me and had me explain how to make this recipe as if I were a cooking show star!

Julie, thanks for sharing your recipe. I was thinking yesterday, when reading your daybook, that I would like to make some twice baked potatoes myself. (I'm not sure if I have the onion flakes on hand but I do have everything else.)
