Preparing Baked Cheese Potatoes
This delicious snack is very easy to make. First, boil some medium-sized potatoes. Make sure they are not completely mushy, but slightly firm. Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, cut them in half. Now, with a spoon, scoop out the center of the potato to create space for the filling.

Prepare the delicious filling.
Take the potato pulp in a bowl. Add finely chopped vegetables of your choice (such as onions, bell peppers, and carrots). Add cheese (mozzarella or cheddar), a little salt, pepper, chili flakes, and oregano, and mix well. If desired, add a spoonful of cream or mayonnaise to make the filling creamy and delicious.

The final step of baking
Carefully fill the prepared filling into the hollowed-out potato halves. Add a little more cheese on top to create a golden, stretchy crust after baking. Place the potatoes on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10 to 15 minutes. Bake until the cheese is thoroughly melted and golden.

Your hot and delicious baked cheese potatoes are ready. Remove them from the oven and serve immediately with tomato ketchup or your favorite chutney. Their aroma and creamy taste are guaranteed to entice not only the kids but also the adults in the house. This recipe is a great evening snack option that's both healthy and tasty.
