Potato 2 Olive oil 1 tsp Salt as needed Cooked bean 3 tblsp Capsicum little Mixed herbs 2 pinches Chili flakes 2 pinches Grated cheese 2-4 tblsp Butter 1 tsp
Wash the potatoes nicely and rub this in a kitchen towel. Do not peel the skin. If needed soak the potato in water for 10 minutes to take out the extra dirt if any. Rub the potatoes nicely with olive oil on all sides.
Prick the potatoes with fork on all sides. Rub salt on the potatoes.
Grease a baking tray and bake it for an hour or till the skin turns brown and crispy and inside becomes soft. Bake at 160 degrees. If you are running out of time, microwave the potato for 7-9 minutes till the potatoes becomes soft. Baking only gives crispy outer layer.
Slit the potatoes vertically and horizontally. Do not cut, just slit.
Place 1 tsp of butter into each potato. Mix the cooked beans (i used black bean), capsicum, salt , mixed herbs and red chili flakes.
Spoon it into the potatoes. Carefully stuff it inside. Though it comes out little its ok.
Add grated cheese on the top . Bake it till the cheese melts.
If doing in microwave, keep it in the microwave oven for few minutes till the cheese melts. Take it out and serve hot. Sprinkle some red chili flakes on this.
Baked potato is ready.
If you are non-veg (I am not!), you can add crisp bacon bits too. I add thin sev instead of bacon.
