2. Roast 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and browned, turning potatoes over halfway and sprinkling with remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix together cream cheese, pesto and red pepper sauce, if desired. Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons pesto mixture onto each potato; top with red pepper. Sprinkle with chives, if desired.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Start to finish: 35 minutes
Notes: Cook's Tip: To make up to 1 day ahead, bake potatoes and prepare pesto mixture as recipe directs; do not assemble. Cover and refrigerate separately. If desired, warm potatoes in microwave oven before assembling.
