By: Janilee Nader

Cook time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

4 large baking potatoes

2 cups Monterey jack cheese, about 8 ounces

½ cup chopped green onions

¼ teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled

¼ teaspoon dried leaf basil, crumbled

2 tomatoes, sliced

8 ounces Italian sausage links, cooked and sliced

Parmesan cheese

Preparation: Bake potatoes in a 450 degree oven until tender, about 50 minutes. In a small bowl, combine shredded cheese with green onion, oregano, and basil. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and place in a baking dish, cut-side up. Sprinkle potatoes with a half of the cheese mixture. Top with tomato slices and sausage: sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until topping is nicely browned. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving, or pass parmesan cheese with potatoes.
