Helpful Hints:
|
Cheddar cheese is called for in this recipe, but other kinds will work just fine. Maybe you have processed cheese on hand? It makes a smooth sauce. Or, perhaps you have a package of Swiss cheese slices - they will also make a tasty sauce. When it comes to veggies, cheese is considered by most kids to be a very good thing. Just don't expect this sauce to look like that bright, neon orange stuff that comes out of a box!

Safety Tip:
|
Baked potatoes are easy and quick in a microwave oven. Be sure to poke the skin of the potato after washing, to prevent it from exploding while it bakes!
Leftover baked potatoes need to be refrigerated to keep them safe to eat. For quick cooling, cut potatoes into quarters before refrigerating. If you bake potatoes in foil in a regular oven, be sure to remove the foil before refrigerating leftover potatoes.
