Jailbreak Potatoes

4 large Russet potatoes

Bake and let cool - then split in 1/2. Scoop out the centers and add:

2 T butter

1/2 c whipping cream

1/2 t salt

1/4 t white pepper

1/2 c Parmesan cheese

Mix that together and then restuff the shells. Bake 15 minutes at 350. I sprinkle the tops with scallions and/or paprika.

We eat these for all major holidays. They're NOT diet food!

Blonde Brownies

16 oz brown sugar

3/4 cup butter

Cream those.

Add:

2 eggs 

1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir in:

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

I add a lot of chocolate chips. And bake at 350 in a greased 12 x 9 for however long it takes!!

Really good with vanilla ice cream - or all by themselves.

We took these for John's JMU graduation...
