Stuffed Veggie Potatoes-Easy Entree or Super Side (vegetarian)

I love stuffed potatoes so I thought what an easy way to make veggie stuffed potatoes-use frozen veggies as that is such a time saver-you instantly have an assortment of vegetables without any cutting or chopping.  Whenever I make stuffed potatoes, I always make extra to keep in my freezer.  I wrap them individually in  plastic wrap and store in freezeable plastic bags to pull out for that last minute meal, lunch or side.  Wow, do I look good for a last minute dinner!
