West Country potatoes
If you have difficulty in buying the cheese, use plain Cheddar and sprinkle with finely snipped chives or chopped onions.
Ingredients
- 12 even-sized potatoes
- scrubbed vegetable oil for brushing
- salt
- 8 oz Double Gloucestercheese with chives and onion
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas7.
- Prick the potatoes well with a fork, then brush each one with a very little oil.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and place in the oven, directly on the shelves. Bake for about 1 hour or until they feel soft in the centre when pierced with a skewer.
- Just before serving, cut the cheese into 24 thin slices. Make 2 slits in each potato and put a slice of cheese in each slit. Serve at once while the potatoes are still hot.
