Twice Baked Potatoes with Spiced Currant Sauce for Ham & Strawberries

"My second favorite way to make baked potatoes, after serving them with Chef's Cheese Sauce.  There's lots of room for customization here.  They also freeze well.  After putting the mashed potatoes back in the shell and topping them with grated cheese, lay flat in a pan and freeze.  When solid, transfer to freezer bags.  The morning you want to use them, put them in the refrigerator to thaw.  Then they are ready to pop out quickly bake to go with your meal.  They can be microwaved as well." - April Ferre
