About this recipe: I think this was the first recipe I learnt!! There is no baking involved so these are much quicker. You boil the potatoes first, then make the filling, then pop them under the grill. Pure comfort food!
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 225g (8 oz) mature Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 small onion or 4 spring onions, finely diced
- salt and pepper

- Wash the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise but don't peel them. Place in a pan of boiling water and cook until medium soft.
- Drain and remove them from the water. Scoop out the "flesh", taking care not to split the skin. Put the skin to one side, don't throw away.
- Place the flesh into a mixing bowl, add the butter, sliced onion and half of the cheese. Mix well.
- Put the mixture into the skins, sprinkle the rest of the cheese on the top and place under the grill for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve and enjoy. Hope you like them.

Very nice, I had to use cheese sauce as I didn't have enough cheese, if you do this don't use all the cheese sauce as the filling becomes runny!! - 13 Jul 2012
