Preparation

  1. Bake the potatoes until soft, then split and mash plenty of butter into the flesh, followed by the cheese.
  2. Grate 150g of cheese (as much as you like).
  3. Finely chop one onion and one sweet red pepper.
  4. Put these into a large bowl with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper, and chilli flakes if using, then pile onto the potato along with any other toppings you fancy — sweetcorn, olives, coleslaw and more.
