Make-Ahead All-Dressed Baked Potatoes

Recipe by: PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese

"Stuffed potatoes are prepared ahead of time with Cheddar, cream cheese, and bacon bits, then heated in an outdoor barbecue."

Directions

Prick potatoes in several places. Microwave on HIGH 6 to 8 minutes or until tender, turning over and rearranging after 3 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
Cut thin slice off top of each potato. Discard tops; scoop out centres into medium bowl, leaving 1/8-inch-thick shells. Mash potato flesh. Add cream cheese product, milk, cheese and bacon; mix well. Spoon into potato shells; wrap individually in foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Heat barbecue to medium heat. Unwrap potatoes; place on barbecue grate. Grill 15 minutes or until heated through.

Cook 5-star weekday dinners every time.

Variation:
Prepare as directed, omitting the refrigerating time and reducing the grilling time to 10 minutes or until potatoes are heated through.
