Ingredients

  • 24 oz baking potatoes 
  • 12  meatballs frozen italian-style cooked (from 16-oz package)
  • cup pasta sauce (from 14-oz jar)
  • 4.5 oz mozzarella cheese 
  • 12 small pimientos 
  •  dill pickles cut into twelve 1x1/4-inch pieces

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Wrap each potato in foil.
  2. Bake about 1 hour or until fork-tender.
  3. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until easy to handle.
  4. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, cook meatballs and pasta sauce over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until meatballs are hot, stirring frequently.
  5. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. With spoon, scoop out pulp from each potato, leaving 1/4-inch shell. Discard pulp or reserve for another use.
  6. Place 2 meatballs and about 2 tablespoons sauce in each potato half; place on ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan.
  7. Cut cheese into 1/4-inch wide slices. Arrange cheese slices over meatball filling crossing back and forth to completely cover and resemble “bandages;" tuck ends inside potatoes.
  8. Bake about 2 minutes or just until cheese softens; do not melt.
  9. Place 2 olives on end of each potato to resemble eyes; place 2 pickle pieces at opposite end to resemble feet.
