    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 375�F. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop pulp out of each potato, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. 2. Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet. Cook sausage, green pepper and onion in hot butter until vegetables are tender. 3. Mash potato pulp, sour cream, milk, salt and black pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in sausage mixture, cheese and chives. Spoon mashed potato mixture into the potato shells. Place on a large cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until potatoes are heated through.
    *Note: To bake potatoes, preheat oven to 425�F. Scrub potatoes thoroughly with a brush; pat dry. Prick potatoes with a fork. Bake for 1 hour or until tender. Cool potatoes to room temperature. (Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before using.)

    Serves 4.

    Prizewinner Kathie Gill of St. Joseph, Michigan, writes, �The Big Potato is a pleasant reminder of my courtship with my husband, Jeff.� Before they were married, Kathie dated a friend of Jeff�s who brought him to dinner one night. Kathie gave Jeff, rather than her boyfriend, the largest potato. The next day she wondered �Why?� Four months later, Jeff and Kathie were married.
