-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Each Med. Baking Potatoes
1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Teaspoons Sliced Green Onions
Milk
Paprika (Optional)

Scrub baking potatoes with a brush. Prick with a fork in several places.
Place potatoes in a shallow baking dish. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power
for 6 to 8 minutes or till potatoes are tender. Cut a lengthwise slice from
the top of each potato. Discard the skin from the lengthwise slices, place the
potato portions from the lengthwise slices in a mixing bowl. Scoop out the
insides of the potatoes leaving two 1/4-inch thick shells; reserve the shells.
Add the insides of the potatoes to the mixing bowl containing the potato
portions from the top slices; mash. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, butter or
margarine and sliced green onion. Beat in enough milk to give the mixture a
stiff consistency. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Pile
the mashed potato mixture into the reserved potato shells. Return to the
shallow baking dish.
Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 2 to 3 minutes or till potato mixture
is heated through. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
