Ingredients

2 pounds fingerling potatoes
1 large baking potato
1/3 cup sour cream
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
7 thin slices Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon chopped ripe olives
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Bake fingerling potatoes at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until
tender; set aside.
Meanwhile, pierce baking potato several times with a fork. Microwave
for 6-7 minutes or until tender. Cut in half and scoop out pulp;
discard shell. Place pulp in a small bowl; mash. Stir in the sour
cream, cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper until smooth.
Cut each fingerling in half lengthwise. Spoon about 1 tablespoon
mashed potato mixture over each potato half. Place on a foil-lined
baking sheet.
Cut each cheese slice into six rectangles; place one on each stuffed
potato. (Save remaining cheese for another use.) Bake at 350°
