Preheat oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Pierce the potatoes several times on all sides with a fork. Bake for one hour until tender. Remove potatoes from the oven. Halve each potato lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Mix the potato insides with the butter and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the potato skins with the potato mixture and place in a baking dish. There may be some leftover potato mixture. Make a hole in the center of the potato mixture and drop an egg into it.
