In my world, any day is good to eat stuffed potatoes with cheese, but now that all those soccer games are coming, I love the idea of doing a lot and serving them with a salsa bar. Affordable food, and everyone loves it.

- Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about ½ cm—place in a pot with cold water and salt. Cook covered over high heat until it boils, lower the heat a bit, but it should continue boiling. Cook for 18-20 minutes until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork.

- Working with floured hands, make a ball of about ½ cup mashed potatoes, form a disc in your hand, place the cheese, and close to form a stuffed potato.
- Roll in flour. Repeat with the remaining puree.
- Beat eggs with salt for 30 seconds.
- Dip the potatoes in the egg, then roll on the Panko or breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Place potatoes in a greased oven tray.
- Bake for 3-4 minutes until golden.
- Turn and repeat until browned.
- Serve hot with sauces.
