Cheeseboard Supper Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6.
• Wash the potatoes and then dry them, before pricking them all over with a fork and baking them in the pre-heated oven for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
• Meanwhile, mix all of the grated and mashed cheeses together; add the chopped spring onions, mustard powder and a little salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Set to one side.
• When the potatoes are cooked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool, before cutting them in half and scooping out all of the cooked potato flesh inside - leaving and empty skin.
• Mix the warm potato flesh with cheese and add the butter whilst they are still warm, so it melts. Mix well.
• Pile the cheesy potato filling into the potato skins, place them on a greased baking sheet and bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are hot all the way through and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
• Serve immediately with chopped chives and assorted salad leaves or seasonal vegetables.

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 425° for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 350°. Cut each potato in half horizontally; leaving a thin shell, carefully scoop pulp into a bowl. Set potato skins aside. , To the pulp, add sour cream, Parmesan cheese, bacon, onion and horseradish. Mix with a fork until combined but not mashed. Add salt and pepper. Fill potato skins. Top each potato with 1 teaspoon butter and sprinkle with cheese. Place in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 350° until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Arrange the fig leaves on a round platter. Place the grapes in the middle and the Brie, Cheddar and goat cheese around the grapes. Sprinkle thyme leaves and place a sprig of time on top of the goat cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Add the blue cheese to the cheese arrangement and artfully arrange the apricots, figs and crackers among the cheeses.
