Baked Potato (Falkland Islands Scalloped Potatoes)

Deliciously cheesy scalloped potatoes are full flavour. Though they are more like baked potatoes with cheese than what we would call a scalloped potato dish.

6 large potatoes, washed and unpeeled
½ cup olive oil
3-4 green onions
2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
kosher or sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C, Gas Mark 6).

Rub the potato skins with olive oil (this will make them crispy) and add salt, rubbing all over to cover.

Bake for 40 minutes or until the skins are crispy and the flesh is tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool until you can handle them, then cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and transfer to a large bowl. Add the oil, green onions, salt and pepper. Return the potato mixture to the potato skins and top with the cheese.

Put the potatoes back in the oven and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and just beginning to turn a golden colour.

Makes 6-12 servings.
