Ingredients:
- 6 baking potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted and peeled

- 1/2 stick of butter
- 14 oz. can green chiles

- Add the cream cheese, butter and avocado. Beat with a mixer until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and chiles.
- Spoon the mixture back into the shells. Put half a slice of cheese in each potato.
