Ingredients:

The Potatoes

4 potatoes, preferably firm cooking, medium size

3 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon salt (no iodine)

Stuffed Potato - Herbs

2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Mint, finely chopped
1 Chile Pepper, red or green, finely chopped


Stuffed Potato - Capping

4 slices cheese, prefereably lighly matured Edam, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder

Method:

1. Brush the potatoes clean under cold running water and cut in two over the flat side. Cook 10 minutes with some salt, drain and let cool down. Carve a cavity in each half potato using a spoon. Set potato halves aside.

2. Put the potato carvings into a bowl and add the butter. Squash, and add milk while stirring until you have a smooth mix. Add onion, curry powder and herbs (optional) and bring stuffing to your taste with salt and pepper. Stir in some more milk if you feel the mix is too dry.

3. Stir the curry powder through the chopped cheese.

4. Spread the potato stuffing over the potato halves, flatten the top, and sprinkle with cheese.
Sprinkle one teaspoon of olive oil over each potato half.
