Hot Potato, Hot Potato

Family time finally takes centre stage over the holidays and what could be more fun than working as a team to make these gourmet twice-baked potatoes? You can let the kids customize their own fillings (i.e. omit the spinach, add more ham). Either way, the entire clan is sure to enjoy making—and eating—these spectacular spuds together.

These cheesy treats are a great way to get your toddlers cooking in the kitchen with you. Work together to make a simple dough, and then stuff it with leftover mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese.

Your guests may think something fishy is going on when you present them with this sophisticated meal that practically cooks itself. You can let them in on your secret, or keep it to yourself, but either way it's a meal that's versatile and pleasing to all palates—young and old alike.
