Make It

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

3. Bake potatoes and garlic in 425 degree F oven for 50 minutes or until potatoes are knife-tender and garlic is soft to the touch. Keep oven on.

4. Halve each potato lengthwise. Scoop out pulp into large bowl. Reserve 8 potato shells (use other 4 shells for potato skins). Unwrap garlic; cut heads of garlic in half horizontally.
