I made this along with the pan cake for last night's dinner. I made this couple of years ago while we were in the UK..I used to find potatoes "marked for baking" but here it is made with russet potatoes...my feeling is you can make it with any kind. i tried it with the Idaho potatoes yesterday. Actually its been a long time since I had it too...probably couple of years ago I ate it at Habaneros but I prefer the one made at home...tastes a lot better...the best part was my son tried the pan cake as well as the baked potato...in general he likes to have rasam mammu only all the time! I am glad he tried it..
Lets get to the recipe:
Ingredients:
Potatoes (used 2 big and one small )
Olive Oil
Cheddar Cheese
Jalapeno (always use "Mission" sliced Jalapeno peppers)
Dorito Chips
Diced Bell Pepper
Sour Cream
Salsa
Cilantro
Salt
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 Deg F.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes and make sure the mud is not sticking on to it. Dry it well.
3. Pierce them with a fork on all sides for it to absorb the oil.
4. Rub the potatoes well with oil and salt.
5. Bake them at 375 deg F for about an hour or till you are able to slice it easily. If you are baking more than 3 or so extend the baking time by another 15 or half an hour.
6. I add the diced bell pepper to the oven just before switching it off (less than 5 min) ..I like to add it this way...if you prefer you can use raw diced bell pepper.
7. Slice the potato in the middle as this helps to easily fill whatever you want to.
8. Add the salsa, sour cream, cheese, jalapeno, bell pepper, chips and cilantro...(you may also add greek yogurt to it....add whatever you like)..I have not mentioned the quanity for these add more of less of these items as per your taste.
Yummy baked potato is ready to be served.....it is so easy to prepare and comforting to eat! Try it out sometime...Enzoi!
