Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Peel and halve the amount of potatoes you need (remembering they shrink when baked). Place potatoes around the edge on your microwave plate. Cook on high until potatoes are firm but nearly cooked (approximately 8 minutes).
Arrange potatoes around a baking tray and use a knife to cut slits over the tops of the potatoes. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes or when cooked.

This saucy potato dish is great to serve with a plain meat.

INGREDIENTS
3 large Potatoes
1 large sweet Potato
300 grams Cream (for a healthier option substitute with Milk OR half Cream/half Milk)
½ teaspoon crushed garlic
Salt and Pepper
Grated Cheese (Parmesan is the best)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Peel and thickly slice potatoes and sweet potato then layer in an oven proof dish. Mix garlic, salt, pepper and cream (or milk/cream) in a cup then pour over the potatoes*. Cover with cling wrap and cook in microwave for 10 minutes. This may overflow but it is an easy mess to clean up. Sprinkle cheese over the top and put in oven and cook until potatoes are soft (approximately 20 minutes).
