Baked potatoes with onions, cheese and sour cream
Description
This recipe is unusual because the potatoes are baked twice – first the whole potatoes separately, and then grated potatoes with a cheese and onion mixture. Baked potatoes go well with steak.

Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil. Bake the potatoes on a baking sheet in the oven until cooked through—this will take about an hour. Remove the foil and let the potatoes cool to room temperature. Place the potatoes on a plate or in a plastic container, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
