Baked Potato with American Coleslaw

Preheat the oven. Two large Maris Piper potatoes, semi halved, oven cooked with butter inside aluminium foil on a roasting tray. Cook at 200 deg C for around forty to forty five minutes in the middle of the oven. An oven thermometer is recommended.

When the potatoes are ready, add slices of cheddar cheese, and dress the potato with an American coleslaw. This is very similar to UK coleslaw, but with added sliced gherkin. So essentially it is a mixture of diced cabbage, onion, carrot and gherkin, in mayonnaise. Can feature instead sour cream and a little apple vinegar, if there is no gherkin included.

Serve with black pepper.
