These savory cheese topped potatoes are great with a barbecue or as a side dish with any choice of meat.
What You Will Need:
4 medium baking potatoes
1 tablespoon of butter or margarine
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
A dash of salt
Grated cheddar cheese
What To Do:
Scrub the skins of the potatoes to remove any dirt. Wrap potatoes in foil wrap and place into your oven. Bake at 400 C for about 1 hours. A toothpick can be pushed all the way through once they are baked.
Once potatoes are baked remove from oven and foil and cut in half. Scoop out potatoes with a spoon into a bowl.
Mash potatoes with butter until smooth. Add milk and stir. Add the remaining ingredients except for the cheese and stir into the potatoes.
Spoon the mashed potato back into the empty potato skins. Place on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with cheese. Place them back into the oven and bake for another 20 - 30 minutes at 350 C.
