How to make a rainbow potato in a few easy steps
Ingredients for 4 people:
4 large potatoes
1 small red onion
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh, soft goat cheese
A handful of baby spinach
10 cherry tomatoes
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 400° F.
Scrub the potatoes well using a brush.
Place them on a cutting board then make 5 incisions, at 1 inch intervals, without cutting all the way through the potato.
Place the potatoes on a cooking sheet, season generously with salt then bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the potato is soft and fluffy.
Check that the potato is fully cooked by inserting the tip of a knife. If it goes in easily, then the potato is done.
Toppings:
In the meantime, wash all the vegetables.
Slice the cherry tomatoes.
Cut the cheese into thin slices, along with the red onion.
Garnish:
Remove the potatoes from the oven, and then in each incision insert one of the toppings, alternating colors as you go.
Put back in the oven for another 8 minutes, just long enough so that the cheese melts.
