Potato baked in foil with cheese and butter

Wash the potatoes well so that no dirt remains on the peel, put in a microwave-safe dish, cover and cook in the microwave until tender. If you have not come across this cooking method before, then see how to cook potatoes in the microwave.

Prepare the foil by unwinding 50 cm of foil from the roll for each potato and folding it in half.

Remove the butter from the refrigerator, cut into six cubes - 3 cubes per potato, and leave to warm up while the potatoes cook.

Grate the cheese on a medium grater, divide into two equal portions and leave to warm up while the potatoes are cooking.

Put on your left hand, if you are right-handed, a kitchen glove or put a towel, on top - a doubled sheet of foil, get one potato from the microwave and put it on the foil.

Carefully cut a 1/3 potato crust around the top with a table knife and remove it from the potato.

Carefully make longitudinal, transverse and oblique cuts on the cleaned plane with a table knife to the entire depth of the potato, but so as not to cut through the crust and foil.

Put one piece of butter on the potato and mash the potatoes with a knife, holding the foil shape with your hand.

Add a third of the cheese and continue to knead the potatoes with butter and cheese with a knife.

Continue adding butter and cheese to the potatoes twice more, as described in the previous paragraph (9), salt and pepper the dish to taste.

Use a knife to trim the mashed potatoes into heaps and wrap the top with foil.

Put the potato wrapped in foil, without turning it over, on a plate and do the same with the next potato.

Place the foil-wrapped potatoes upside down on the preheated burner so that the cheese and butter do not run out, and bake a little for 1-2 minutes. If you have a gas stove, then this operation can be done in a frying pan.

Serve the dish hot on a plate without turning.
