Stuffed potatoes
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I think every homemaker has her own way of making stuffed potatoes—some don't pre-boil them, but simply cut and remove the core, then fill the center with stuffing. My recipe is a bit more elaborate, but this way the potatoes will definitely not be undercooked. You can use any filling to your taste—canned food, sausages, vegetables, herbs, and cheese all work well. Serve the finished dish at the table.
