- Turn them over half way to brown both sides
- Cool them.
- Make a slit on one side of every potato and scoop out the inside leaving the skin intact.
- In a pan add oil and sauté the onions and garlic until light brown and set aside.
- For the filling - In a bowl combine the potato insides, onions, garlic, butter, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, cheese and optional ingredients together.
- Fill the empty potato pockets with the above filling.
- Top with cheese and bake at 350F for 15 minutes or just until cheese melts.
