Tuna-Stuffed Potatoes image

Turn a baked potato into a light meal in minutes with this creamy and delicious tuna topping from Bobby Taylor in Michigan City, Indiana. Serve this tasty twist on twice-baked potatoes with a leafy green salad for a lovely, spur-of-the-minute lunch or late-night supper. MAKE IT EASY: For make-ahead convenience on busy weekdays, Bobby Taylor suggests you prepare the potatoes, wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to two days. When needed, unwrap and place on a baking sheet in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 minutes or until heated through.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up throwing it away and ordering pizza.

The potatoes were a bit dry, but the tuna filling was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of potato next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the tuna filling and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe but I would make some changes next time.
