    Wedges. Thanks pandas, but that's not exactly a recipe, is it?

    Would you be kind enough to elaborate a teeny bit? :whistle:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    baked spuds make THE best mash. peel off the skins and mash with milk/cream or butter, salt and pepper

    Slice them up and layer with fried onion and grated cheese. Heat through in the oven until the cheese is melted.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    How would you go about reheating that? Microwave? :confused:

    What would you recommend to go with it? :)

    That sounds like a winner to me. Or it would, if I hadn't put all the onions in the sausagey thing. :o

    Its a bit late now for Mr BE, but for future reference Delia has a great hybrid method for quick baked potatoes. The traditional oven method is best, but takes a lot of time and expensive electricity. Microwaving them is quick, but does nothing to the skins.

    Firstly, stab the spud all over with a veg' knife, wrap them in a sheet of kitchen towel and microwave them for 5 minutes per spud. Then put them in a roasting tray, take off the kitchen towel and coat the spud in cooking oil. Then cook at 200°C for 15 minutes. The microwave cooks the insides, then the oven finishes this off and - effectively - fries the skins.

    As above, the all oven method is best, but this hybrid method gives a reasonable result in much less time.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
