Baked potatoes can make a delicious supper and this particular way of doing them reminds me very much of Saturday evenings when I was a child.

Ingredients

Fillings of your choice!

Instructions

Scrub and dry the potatoes. Rub the skins with oil and salt. Push the potatoes onto metal skewers if you have some.
Bake at 180°C for at least an hour and until the insides are soft.
While still hot, cut a ‘hatchway’ into the potato and scoop out the insides. Mash and mix with your choice of fillings and refill the potatoes.
Bake at 180°C for a further 20-25 minutes before serving.
