Ingredients
1 lb 8 oz (700 g) small potatoes, washed
2 oz (50 g) mature Cheddar cheese, grated
4 spring onions, chopped small (including the green parts)
olive oil
sea salt
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F, 180°C.
Equipment

Method

First rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Bake them on a high shelf in the oven for an hour.

Then preheat the grill, cut each potato into quarters and place them in a grill pan lined with foil. Scatter the spring onions over the potatoes, then sprinkle on the grated cheese.

Place under the grill until the cheese has browned and is bubbling.
