Baked potatoes with coleslaw, smoked cheese and sour cream

I was thinking about these as I was scarfing them down, and came to this valuble conclusion: Baked potatoes are the Irishman's taco - you can stuff them with pretty much anything at all, and as long are they are hot and topped with cheese they'll taste great!

As you can see, I obviously need to get out more.

Baked Potatoes

1 large baking potato per person (I used Bintjes)
100 grams smoked cheddar cheese, grated
1 small tub sour cream
Coleslaw (recipe below)

1 - Preheat oven to 200 C.

2 - Wrap each potato in foil, then place on a baking tray. Bake in oven for 1 - 1 1/4 hours, or until tender.

3 - Unwrap the potatoes, and score with a deep cross. Fill the cross with the coleslaw, sour cream and cheese, then chow on down.

Coleslaw

1/2 small red cabbage
1 red onion, peeled
2 medium carrots, peeled
3 tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 - Place all the vegetables in a food processor with a grate attachement, and grate until fine.

2 - Place grated vegetables in a bowl, and mix with the mayonnaise and mustard. Serve.
