Instructions

  1. NOTE: Depending on the size of your potatoes is how much of the other ingredients you will need. If the potatoes tend to be more medium-sized than large, start with the smaller amounts.
  2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pierce potatoes, rub the potatoes with oil, sprinkle with the coarse salt, and bake 1 hour or until tender when tested. Set the oven to broil.
  3. In a small pan, heat the butter and milk, but do not boil.
  4. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp. Mash, until creamy, with the butter/milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese and tarragon.
  5. Place the potatoes into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe back into the shells.
  6. Broil the potatoes until the top is just golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, depending on your broiler.
