Another of my favourite recipes is baked potatoes with cheese. It is extremely simple to make and equally delicious. All of us love cheese and the combination of cheese and potatoes with a little bit of mint and coriander is extremely appetizing.

What you need for this simple dish is 6-8 potatoes, calculated at one and a half potatoes per person. So if you’re cooking for six people, you could make around ten potatoes. Going about this dish is extremely simple. All you need to do is to first boil the potatoes. Then once the potatoes are boiled you need to cut each potato in half and scoop out the centre. After that the mixture of cheese and other things needs to be put in the centre. 

For the filling in the centre you need to slice up mushrooms and sauté them lightly in butter. Thereafter mix the mushrooms and grated cheese. Add a bit of pepper (make sure you don’t add too much, it will surely ruin the taste),a bit of chopped coriander and a hint of mint leaves.

Put this mixture into the potato hollows. You can also add a bit of potato in the mixture in case you don’t want it to become too cheesy. Make sure the mixture doesn’t reach the top of the potato because cheese melts and you don’t want it to spill over. Also cut off the rounded portion of the potato so that it can stand on its own.

Next grease a baking tray and line the potatoes on it. Put the tray in the oven preheated at 200 degrees centigrade. It should be done within ten minutes, so just keep an eye on it while it’s cooking. Once it’s done take it out of the oven. You could add a bit of oregano on top or keep it as it is. You cheesy baked potatoes are ready to serve.
