Bloody and cheesy baked potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes (for baking)
  • 3 balls mozzarella cheese (fresh and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup

Preparation

You must first preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Use a fork and prick the potatoes randomly and then place them on the wire rack in the oven. You need to bake them for 1 to 1 ½ hours, depending on the size. Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow it to cool a little so that you can handle them. Now, cut each potato into 2 halves. Scoop out the fluffy potato flesh into a bowl. You should not discard its skin. Now, add the diced mozzarella cheese and ketchup in the bowl and mix it using a fork.

Spoon the potato mixture into the skin of the potatoes. Now place the potatoes on a baking sheet and add a teaspoon of tomato ketchup over the filling. Place the baking tray back in the oven and cook for 15 more minutes. Now, remove it from the oven and transfer the potatoes to the serving plate.
