Cheesy Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes scrubbed
- a little olive oil for rubbing
- 2 oz butter
- 5 tbsp milk cooked
- 4 oz gammon cubed, fat removed
- 4 spring onions sliced diagonally
- 4 oz mature cheddar grated
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan oven/Gas Mark 6. Prick the potatoes, rub with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a skewer glides easily through the centre of the largest potato.
