TUNA-STUFFED BAKED POTATOES
Using canned tuna keeps this dish right in a target budget. A dollop of pickle relish on top brings out that classic tuna salad flavor. -Karen Seger, Houston, Ohio

BAKED POTATOES WITH TUNA AND CHEESE
I'm not a tuna salad lover so I wasn't sure about this recipe when I first ran across it but since there's no mayo, it's not anything like tuna salad -- at least not to me. Cooking and prep time does NOT include the time for baking the potatoes since the time varies greatly depending on whether you use the oven, microwave or crock pot for baking the potatoes initially.

BAKED POTATO WITH TUNA MAYO
I got the idea for this recipe from watching videos on youtube from a Scottish food vlogger. "What's For Tea" is the name of Cheryl's youtube account. This is my version of what she makes.

Steps:
- 1. Cut the cooked, hot potato part way thru from end to end.
- 2. Hold the potato with a kitchen towel and gently squish it end to end to "open" the cut. Set aside.
- 3. Open the can of Tuna and empty the contents into a bowl. A small bowl like a cereal bowl is fine. I prefer to keep the liquid because of reserving any nutrition that may have cooked out of the fish in the canning process.
- 4. Add the Mayonnaise and stir. This will be very runny.
- 5. Add the Potato Flakes and stir. This will thicken the mixture and not affect the taste of the end product. You can also use the powdered/shaker Parmesan cheese and/or Ranch dressing mix added to (or instead of) the Potato Flakes to add variety.
- 6. Add the black pepper. Stir in. I use fresh cracked but you can use any kind, Red, white, powdered. You can also add Paprika (sweet or smoked). I love variety.
- 7. Diced Pickle can also be added as well as cheeses, herbs or mustard and creamy salad dressings. It is so fun to play with the flavor of the tuna mayo.
