Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake potatoes with cheese and tomatoes in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose medium-sized potatoes. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, strong and juicy. When cut and cooked, soft fruits will not retain their shape and will turn into mush. Instead of vegetable oil for dressing, you can take sour cream of any fat content, natural yogurt without additives, or mix sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions (about 3 tbsp each). Turn on the oven at 180C.
