Baked potato
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This time, I decided to prepare a slightly unusual version of this famous and beloved dish. Potatoes prepared this way can be served not only at a quiet family dinner, but also presented at a festive table. You can make several sauces, for example, cheesy, creamy, or tomato. Serve hot.

Step 1
1. My potatoes have thin skin, so I don't peel them—I cook them whole. I wash the tubers thoroughly (you can use a brush). With a sharp knife, I make deep cuts about 1 centimeter apart, but don't cut all the way through.

2. Pre-chill the butter in the freezer, then slice it into small thin pieces. Insert each piece between the cuts. Cut the cheese (100 grams) into pieces the same size as the butter and place the cheese alongside the butter. Grease the baking tray with vegetable oil and arrange the potatoes on it. Pour heavy cream over each potato, then sprinkle with salt and a mixture of peppers.

3. Grate the remaining 50 grams of cheese on a fine grater. Place the potatoes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 40-50 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and sprinkle each potato with the grated cheese. Bake for another 15 minutes.

4. I always serve the dish hot, straight from the oven. It can be served with sauce or finely chopped herbs.
