Home Alone Bubbling Potatoes

Essentially a twiced baked potato. Alice had me bake the potatoes, scoop out the insides, mash them with sour cream and cheese and the refill the potatoes with the mash mixture and bake for another 20 minutes. Quite tasty. Perfect for one, or with a group. But as you can see, three's a crowd.





Episode Note: "The Babysitters" Greg and Marcia are dying to be left alone in charge of Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy  for the evening to show how responsible they truly are. Mike and Carol are uneasy about this, but when they have dinner reservations and Alice is helping Sam "redecorate" his apartment they acquiesce.  But not before giving Greg and Marcia hours full of instructions, emergency phone numbers and warnings about not opening the door to strangers, etc. At the last minute, Cindy comes down with the sniffles and is sent to bed, worrying Carol even more, but Mike assures her everything will be fine. All goes well except that Jan is monopolizing the telephone, so every time Carol or Mike sneak away to call, the line is busy enhancing their anxiety. They finally decide to go home and peek in on the kids, which prompts Greg to call the police when he hears suspicious noises outside. Comedy ensues when the police show up and question Mike and Carol and Alice, who also shows up, as prowlers. Once they explain, it all makes perfect sense, sort of. Trust renewed, the grown-ups go back out for the evening and Greg and Marcia are finally alone to "redecorate."
