Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 1 kg potatoes About 2.2 lbs
  • 0.5 tbsp salt
  • 1 onion
  • 80 g butter Approximately 5.6 tbsp
  • 50 g hard cheese Approximately 1.8 oz
  • chopped green onion For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and transfer them while still hot to a baking dish.
  3. Using a rolling pin, gently press down on each potato to create indentations on the top.
  4. In each indentation, place a small piece of butter.
  5. Sprinkle chopped green onion over the butter in each hole.
  6. Coarsely grate the hard cheese and distribute it evenly over the potatoes, ensuring each indentation is filled.
  7. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Baking
  1. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onion. Great as a side dish for roasted meats or on their own with toppings like sour cream or sriracha.
