Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Red Bell Pepper & Cheddar Cheese Spread


appetizers, spreads

1/2 small onion, quartered
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoon olive oil
2 red bell peppers
1 1/2 cup tillamook cheddar cheese, or
1 other sharp cheddar,
1 grated and packed to measure
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tablespoon chives, fresh, chopped

Preheat oven to 375øF. Place onion and garlic in small baking dish. Drizzle with oil. Bake until soft, stirring occasionally, about 50 minutes. Cool. Meanwhile, char peppers over gas flame or under broiler until blackened on all sides. Cool 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; pat dry. Place all ingredients except chives in processor. Puree until almost smooth. Transfer to bowl. Stir in chives. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Makes about 1-1/2 cups. Excellent with crackers, on crusty country bread or served with a dip with crudites. Recipe from Bon Appetit, March, 1993. Source: Bon Appetit - March, 1993
