Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C
-
Bake the potatoes until they are cooked, for about 30 minutes. Allow them to cool just enough so that you can handle them
-
Increase the temperature of the oven to 200°C
-
Quarter the potatoes and remove the meat with a spoon. You should leave about ½ cm of skin and potato
-
Rub the butter on both sides of the potato and sprinkle salt generously onto the skin side
-
Sprinkle grated cheese over the potato quarters and add the beef bacon and green onion on top
-
Return this to the oven for a further 30 minutes, or until the cheese has turned a golden colour
-
Serve with soured cream.
