Green Onion Stuffed Potatoes
Take a few extra moments and make some stuffed potatoes. Your guests will love you and you will love your potatoes. These are stuffed with green onions but any combination with the potato is a true winner. In one way (in my mind some days) it seems like too much work, but if you plan and bake the potatoes first and early they are ready at the same time as most dinners. They are a little bit more work than a simple baked potato, but the taste goes way beyond my expectations every time I make them.
