8 Idaho potatoes, washed, and brushed with shortening.
3/4- to 1-inch diameter clean pebbles

INGREDIENTS:
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
salt / pepper / seasonings
3/4 cup grated cheese
sour cream or other garnishments, if desired

First, prepare potatoes by baking, using your oven at home, or in a Dutch oven using the following method.

Enough small cleaned pebbles, 3/4- to 1-inch diameter, to keep potatoes from touching bottom of the Dutch Oven. Cover pebbles with water (one inch in bottom of Dutch oven). Place potatoes on the pebbles. Cover and place 6-8 briquets on bottom and 18-20 briquets on the lid. Bake 1 hour.

Let the potatoes cool until easily handled. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the insides of the potatoes from the skins into a bowl. Reserve skins to be used as shells. Mash the potatoes, adding melted butter, milk, chopped fresh chives, and other seasonings. Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the shells and place in a Dutch oven on the pebbles or a rack, no liquid added, with 6-8 briquets under the oven and about 15 briquets on the lid. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. Remove lid and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Replace lid and continue heating for about another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and other garnishments.
