Erm - plastic cutlery? :eek:


Mmmmmmm baked potato and cheese. Got to be strong - cheddar, gruyere, brie combo is a good un :cool:
Kinell, how big are your spuds trashy?!

I wondered about the placcy cutlery too :)
 
this is my new take-to-work thing.

sadly not lovely mature cheddar (too fatty)

but topped with extra light philly and haf a can of reduced sugar/salt beans.

i also cook them with a metal skewer throught the middle. how my mum taught me, innit? then i take thwem in, assemble the toppings and microwave the lot to heat it through.

very filling.:)

You only put on the same amount of total cheese as you would if you were using only variety silly :rolleyes: :p

They do baked potatoes in the canteen at work but they keep them in a little oven and I always forget about them. I might have to set a reminder in my diary :o :cool:

Ohhhh :D Me being a greedy cow, I was envisioning an overload of cheese...which is what it would be if I did it :rolleyes:

I was at work! That's the cutlery that came with the potato innit.

Rest assured when at home I only ever use my silver, ivory handled potato spoons.

It was the combo of the china bowl and plastic cutlery that threw me - if I'd been at work it would have been polystyrene :(
 
Crispy's Precise and Poncy Baked Potatoes With Cheese

Bake a potato, a big one, that is nice and oblate (ie, shaped like an M&M). While it's baking, grate a load of cheese and finely chop some spring onion. When the potato's nearly done, slice it along the longest axis, so as to expose the maximum surface area (you should have two shallow-ish cups). Remove the potato flesh from the skin with a fork and stick it in a bowl. Add in half the cheese and all the spring onion. Mash it up, but not so smooth as if you were making normal mash. Re-fill the potato, packing the mash down tightly. Sprinkle the rest of the chees on top and grind on a good helping of pepper. Put the potato back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and browning. Use the grill if you're in a hurry. Eat with a fat grin on your face (in between bouts of huffing and waving a hand in front of your mouth cos the damn thing's too hot to eat)

That would be the perfect recipe except there's no butter or salt.... far too healthy. I'm very sick today and I might treat myself to a baked spud for lunch if I can get the energy to get out of bed and down to the shop. :(
 
A very generous knob of butter, unmelted and grated cheddar cheese, then coleslaw on top (ideally homemade but decent shop-bought will do) then lashings of black pepper. And the potato skin has to be really, really crispy.

Nothing else will do :cool:
 
I may have to have a jacket potato for lunch again today. Am at home, so might try a more adventurous filling.
 
I've never been very adventurous with jacket spuds. It's either cheese, cheese and coleslaw or chilli. Or, in the middle of winter, chilli and cheese. I can't break out of habit. I need to broaden my baked spud horizons.

But I ain't touching brie :mad:
 
I'm just thinking, it seems a bit wasteful to light the oven just to cook one potato. If I cooked several, and froze some, would they heat up OK? I reckon they'd microwave OK. Wouldn't be crispy, but better than purely microwaved.
 
I'm amazed by the amount of Cheddar gorgers!

There's more different type of cheeses than there are days in the year, and to be honest, there really isn't any such thing as pure Cheddar.

This year's British Cheese Awards had 842 different cheeses.

Clean your palate of yesteryear's daily rind. Next week is British Cheese Week. I urge you, on behalf of cows everywhere, to break out of your mould.

These women need you...

^^^ is always a winner for me; I also like butter and grated cheddar/red leicester with a nice dressed salad, and sometimes beans and cheddar when it's very wintry.

Loads of black pepper on all of the above. In fact, in my house, loads of black pepper on pretty much everything. Can you be addicted to pepper?

I'm a black pepper addict as well. I can't get enough of it. When I'm having a pizza in a restaurant and the waiter comes round with the giant pepper mill, I feel like telling him to give me the mill so I can cover the pizza with obscene amounts of pepper.

I won't put pepper on stuff like curry or Thai, but anything else is fair game. it's probably quite offensive, the way I'll cover a meal in pepper, but I don't care. I am addicted.

No one denies this!! It's just that as far as baked spuds are concerned it has to be very mature cheddar!
