The wife just reminded me that they're called "Twice-baked potatoes" but I don't know the brand name. We get them from our local Winn-Dixie and they come in a box with 2 individually wrapped ones that are each in a thick paper "boat" for lack of a better term. They are frozen hard but when you cook them they come out like mashed potatoes.
I actually discovered the key to their greatness last week when we were grilling filet mignon. I just got a new gas grill as the old one was falling apart, and this time I left the top grilling rack on. I put the filet mignon on the bottom rack and put the potatoes on a sheet of aluminum file on the top rack. After we cook them, we empty all of the potato boats into a bowl and mix them together. The shocking part was how much of the filet's flavor they absorbed. IMO, it was the best mashed potatoes I had ever eaten.
And in the spirit of the thread, I end with this comment:
Now THAT'S what I call MANLY POTATOES!
