My mum used to make potatoes that we called 'Idaho Potatoes' - don't know why

basically it's just a potato in foil with a wedge of butter on top and some salt and pepper cooked in the oven and then split open with Philly cheese and chives put inside

Has to be chives not spring onion. I guess it's kind of like Praties (do you guys have Praties?)

I just call it a jacket potato now - but we used to get pretty excited when we knew mum was cooking 'Idaho potatoes' ........ :biggrin:
