Double Baked Potatoes

Growing up we always had cookouts on the weekends. Paula, Jimmy and the boys would come over and those were always such good times. Mom and Paula would get in the kitchen and make all of the fixins for the dinner. Dad and Jimmy would be in charge of charcoaling the meat. The kids would play in the yard waiting like little heathens and heathenetts for the dinner bell to ring. Mom and Paula made these potatoes for us a lot. It was always such a treat when we had these.
