Classic baked potato with beans

March 19, 2019

Ingredients:
Large baking potato
Olive oil
Small tin of beans
Side salad

 

Method:
Scrub potato clean and pat it dry. Rub all over in olive oil. Cook for 2 hours in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

When serving, cut a cross in the top and push down the four “corners” so the middle pops up, and then add a knob of butter to the centre and this will make the potato soft and gooey. Warm up the beans and add as a topping.

Serve with salad.
