4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200 degrees.

5. Once the potatoes are cooked (a fork should slide in like butter), place the potatoes on pieces of crumpled aluminium foil on a baking tray (it holds the shape of the potato) and cut a 'cross' shape into it, but not through it, to give some room for the fillings.

6. Place fillings into the 'cross' cut out shape, i.e. in this order I placed, Bolognese sauce, diced bacon bits, pineapple and a heap of pizza cheese on top.

 

 

+ Bolognese sauce

 

 

+ Bacon pieces

 

 

+ pineapple pieces

 

 

+ pizza cheese (blend of mozzarella/parmesan/tasty)

 

7. Place in oven and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese has melted and browning.

 

8. If you wish (and have them in your house!), top with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and(or) cracked pepper.

 

Enjoy!
