1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, plus extra for garnish

Cooking instruction summary:

Spread potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 375 for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are slightly browned and easily pierced with a fork.Remove potatoes from oven and let cool until you can handle them without burning your fingertips off. Slice them in half and scoop most of the potato out of each half into a large bowl. Be careful not to take too much potato out – you still want the skin to hold its shape so it can support the filling!Add salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, and greek yogurt to the potato scoopings and mash well with a fork or a potato masher. Make the filling as chunky or as smooth as you’d like! I like my filling a bit chunky.Scoop the filling back into the potato skins and top with a bit of cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper. If you’re refrigerating or freezing the potatoes for later, pack them up after this step.When you’re ready to eat, pop the potatoes back in a 375 degree oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Leave them in a little longer if you like your tops crispy – I got impatient waiting for these to cook and pulled them out as soon as the cheese was melted, but generally I like them to be a bit browner. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
