Works fine for us. It depends on a number of factors. You need to
leave some flesh in there to hold it together, and sometimes you have a
slip of the spoon and the skin is broken. Sometimes we just go ahead
and use that one anyway. Sometimes I call that a "sacrifice to the
Potato God". Just scoop out all the flesh and that makes more stuffing
for the rest.
