Ingredients

  • 4 large Sebago potatoes
  • 80 g softened butter
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Suggested Toppings
  • 3 tbsp crispy onions
  • 100 g cooked sweetcorn
  • 100 g sucuk sausage fried
  • 3 tbsp green olives chopped
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • Fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Wash the potatoes well, prick them with a fork, and bake directly on the rack for about 60–70 minutes. When they’re crispy outside and soft inside, they’re done. Tip: place foil underneath to catch any drips.
  • Slice each potato open lengthwise while hot. Use a fork to gently mash the insides, mixing in the butter, minced garlic, and mozzarella. Don’t scoop it out—mash it right in the skin to keep things easy and less messy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Now the fun begins. Load up with crispy onions, sweetcorn, fried sucuk, olives, sour cream, and herbs. There are no rules—pile it high and go wild. Serve hot and dig in while the cheese is still melty!
