Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Scrub potatoes well. Pierce skin in several places with a fork or skewer. Place potatoes onto oven shelves and bake about 1 hour or until tender. Place asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover pan and steam 10 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Heat butter in a heavy nonstick pan over medium high heat.

Divide asparagus between potatoes, top with cheese sauce and sprinkle with nuts.
