Preheat oven to 220°C.
Pierce the potatoes in several places with a fork.
Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour or until soft when pressed. Use an oven cloth squeeze a potato to see if it feels soft. Alternatively, test by piercing with a fork or sharp knife.

Cut a deep cross in the top of each potato and holding with cloth, press gently from the base to open up the potato.
Place potatoes on salad leaves if using. Spoon sauce over potatoes.
Top with cheese, if using, and serve.

Meal suggestion:

Prick potatoes with a fork to pierce the skin.
Place in microwave, and cook on high power for about 4-5 minutes for each potato; two potatoes will take 8-10 minutes. The time depends on the power of the microwave and the size of the potatoes.
Carefully remove potatoes from the microwave and follow instructions as above.
