A potato bake is always a yummy side dish for a braai (barbecue) and there are no limits to ingredients you can add to personalise it. I often use this recipe for winter braais when a salad just won’t do in the cold weather.

4 large potatoes
1 packet cream of mushroom soup powder

- Top with the grated cheese and bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
