I have an alternative to the deep fried version, it's not authentic, but
damn it's good.

It requires some very large baking potatoes (one per egg). You half the
potatoe, scoop out the insides of both sides with a melon baller until you
have about a quarter inch of skin and meat left, pack in some sausage, then
tuck in the (shelled) hard boiled egg and press the potato back together.
Wrap in aluminum foil, and bake until the potato is soft and the sausage is
cooked, around an hour at 350 degrees. When you take it out of the foil,
cut it in half again, through the sausage and egg, put it in a bowl and
pour cheese sauce all over it. It's vastly comforting, warm, and
magnificently filling. I can usually only finish half of one, though my
husband likes it so much he'll eat the whole thing and skip lunch later
