BAKED TUNA-STUFFED POTATOES 
8 lg. baking potatoes
2 tbsp. butter
2 (7 oz.) cans tuna, drained
1 tbsp. grated onion
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1 can condensed Cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1/4 tsp. paprika
2 drops Tabasco
1/4 tsp. salt
4 slices processed American cheese, halved

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash potatoes. Rub skins all over with butter. Prick with fork. Bake on oven rack, 1 1/2 hours or until tender.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine tuna, onion, parsley, soup, paprika, Tabasco, and salt. Toss with fork to break up tuna and to blend well.

Remove 1-inch slice from top of each potato. Scoop out inside of potato from each slice and from potato itself, leaving a shell. Add potato to tuna mixture, tossing to mix well.

Spoon lightly into potato shells, mounding high. Top each with 1/2 slice of cheese. Place in shallow baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until filling is hot and cheese is melted.

Makes 8 servings.
