Cooking Know-How

Trim both ends of each cooked potato before cutting in half and scooping out centres. This will help the filled potato shells stand upright in the muffin pan cups.

Make Ahead

Fill potato shells as directed but do not bake. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 40 to 45 min. or until heated through. Top with bacon and broccoli.
