Oven baked potatoes are always an appropriate side dish to accompany any meat dish. But if you add it with cheese filling, you get a very original dish. Such potatoes are prepared in just 45 minutes, which is why they can always come to the rescue after a hard day's work, when there is no desire to stand at the stove for a long time.
It is necessary
- - young medium-sized potatoes - 8 pcs.;
- - hard cheese - 100 g;
- - butter at room temperature - 40 g;
- - mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. l. with a slide;
- - garlic - 2-3 cloves (optional);
- - fresh dill - a few branches;
- - grill for the oven.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on the oven and set the temperature to 180 degrees. While it is warming up, rinse the potatoes with the peel thoroughly under running water, dry it, and then pierce the skin with a toothpick in several places.
Step 2
Now place the potatoes on the wire rack and place them in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. In the meantime, let's prepare the rest of the ingredients. Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater, peel the garlic and crush it through a press, chop the dill, and divide the soft butter into small pieces.
Step 3
When the baking time comes to an end, in a separate bowl, combine the grated cheese, dill, garlic, butter and mayonnaise.
Step 4
When the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and make a deep cruciform cut in them (you can also make three cross cuts). Put the cheese-mayonnaise mass into each potato, pressing it as deeply as possible. Then put the potatoes back on the wire rack, put them in the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 5
Such baked potatoes can be served as a separate dish, as well as as a side dish for any meat or fish.
