Yesterday I spent most of the day turning 15lbs. of potatoes into twice baked potatoes. I use the microwave for baking them rather than the oven due to high electric rates here. I do 5lbs. at a time. I then slice a thin layer from the top and scoop out the insides. I mix that with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 tsp. sea salt, a dash of pepper, and 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese. I stuff the potatoes with the mixture and then flash freeze them to prevent them from sticking together. When I want to prepare a few for a meal I just let them thaw and then put them in a 400* oven for 20 minutes or so until they are warmed through. Yesterday in the interest of saving time though I just froze the mixture in meal sized portions rather than stuffing the shells. I'll just thaw each and bake in a shallow baking dish. I hope to get the remaining 5lbs. done today or tomorrow.
