  Basic Baked Potatoes

Yes - this is hardly a recipe but it may be useful to those with little cooking experience.

Ingredients:

Large baking potatoes

Olive oil

Seasalt

Wash the potatoes well and then prick all over with a fork. Coat them with the oil and salt - messy but fun! Bake in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes at 180C/360F. Alternatively you can cook these in a microwave in minutes (follow manufacturers guidelines for timing). Nice served with a green salad and your choice of topping or filling.

Suggested toppings:
Baked beans,
hummus, casserole, curry, sweetcorn, stir fired veg - let your imagination run wild!!


If you have an Aga or other oven which is on for heating do use it!
