  I had never had leaks or herb cream cheese before I made this. Tasted gorgeous. Went down really well at my party last night. Really easy, cheap and quick to make and really filling.

  These were very good - quick and very tasty. I didn't have any eggs so mashed with a splash of milk instead - worked a treat.

  I found the skins are crispier if you place them in the oven whilst mashing the potato with the leeks etc.

  The kids loved these - I would also add a bit of strong cheese as well.

  I love the idea here - and some of the comments as well. I reckon I could m'wave the potatoes. Prepare the filing, adding in the cooked potato, when it's ready. I really like the idea of putting the potato shells in the oven wile mixing the filling, to et the skins start to crisp. Then pile the filling into the shells, and either grate or layr some good flavoursome cheese over the top, then into the oven. It's a good way to use garlic and herb cheese - mixing it in to the filling. Certainly saves on having to think of seasonings for yourself - if you're that way inclined.

  I made these the other night and they were lovely. I couldn't get flavoured cream cheese so thought I'd liven it up a bit. I browned the leeks in a little butter first, added some choped ham and then tossed this with the plain cream cheese, egg, potato and a tiny bit of strong chedder - then piled it all back in and baked them off. Mmmm!

  I added a little bacon (for non vegetarians) and onion (cooked bacon, leeks and onion in a pan instead of microwave) to this and put the skins to crisp in the oven while mixing the ingredient and it tasted great! Didn't have any strong cheese to mix in but next time I make this I will most certainly add some.

  This receipe was really tasty. I added a splash of milk, fried mushrooms and Goats cheese with Chives, as well as leeks to the potato. Also while I was mixing the pototoes I buttered the skins, sprinkled with Rock salt and put them in the Oven. Really nice and crispy. Served with lightly warmed baby tomatoes. Idealy for a light super.

  This is a really tasty recipe and the suggestions are excellent. One thing I would say. If you buy the potatoes from the supermarket as " suitable for baking" they will be those horrible watery things. Use Edwards, Maris, Roosters or Golden wonder and all will be well. But I expect you knew that already.

  This is a very tasty and adaptable recipe. There are some good ideas from other readers! You can opt for any flavour cream cheese and add any other ingredients you fancy! I would crisp the skins up too next time as they were too soft and not as easy to stuff, tending to tear!

  Great snack or light supper meal. Instead of putting the potato in the microwave, cook for 1hr in the oven. Remove from oven after 1hr, leave to cool then scope out the potato and mix with bacon, red onion, cherry tomato's and strong cheese, with a tsp of worcestershire sauce. Put mixture back into the skins and place back on a baking sheet. Before putting in oven cover the top of the potato's with more cheese and cook until the cheese has melted. Usually around 10 minutes works good. You will find the cheese has melted nicely but also on the baking tray surrounding the potato's will be crispy cheese which is adds a nice crunch whilst eating the potato. Ummmmmmm.

  Used sweet potatoes instead and worked really well. The combination of mustard and cheese with the potato is lovely. Just served with a salad as was filling enough for a meal on their own.

  there is another stuffed potato recipe using broccoli. I combined the two recipes together, fried the leek and broccoli for a while and used strong cheddar. It was brilliant, really tasty and easy to make!
