Cheese Potato (Video)

Cheese potato is not from Taiwan,

but it is quite popular at Taiwanese Night Markets.

The combination of baked potato and cheese sauce is wonderful.

I love it so much.

I was going to buy cheese sauce, but I decided to make it by myself.

The result was amazing, my honey loved it so much.

I hope you can try it out and enjoy it.

Ingredients:

1Potato

2 slices turkey bacon

2 tbsp canned corn

(You can add anything you like

hot dog, grilled chicken, beef, broccoli etc )

Cheese sauce ingredients:

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp all purpose flour

100 ml milk

1/2 cup onions

4 slices cheddar cheese

salt & pepper to taste

How to:

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉, then bake the potato for 60-70mins.

(You can microwave the potato, it takes less then 10mins.

But I prefer to bake it. coz the smell of baked potato is much better)

2. Wait until the potato is almost done. (20 mins before)

3. Heat a pan on medium-high heat, no oil. (I use nonstick pan)

4. Cook bacon until crisp then add corn until hot, set aside.

9. Discard the onions.
10. Add cheddar cheese and mix until smooth. (If it's too thick, add more milk)

11. Cut the potato in half lengthwise but not all the way through
12. Mash the potato by a fork.
13. Top with bacon and corn
14. Pour the cheese sauce
