Cheesy Stuffed Baked Potatoes
This is happiness on a plate. We used 3 types of cheese for this extra-cheesy dish. It is creamy and smooth, thanks to the potato flesh combined with cream cheese, parmesan, and mozzarella. Although this is vegetarian, feel free to add other, more meaty ingredients, like bacon!

2 large potatoes
⅔ cup cream cheese
½ cup parmesan, grated
