Last weekend we did a marinated pork loin and made it into sandwiches and used the last bit of it to make these amazing stuffed potatoes.

Recipe Tips and Short Cuts:
Baked potatoes can be baked in advance, up to 1 day in advance. Leave potatoes whole, wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in refrigerator. Potatoes can also be prepared to the point of adding the pork. Store in an airtight container until ready to bake. Drizzle with bbq sauce and top with cheese, place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until heated through.
Store leftover potatoes wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in refrigerator up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or toaster oven covered with foil at 325° for about 25 minutes.
