Make the slits, leaving 1/2 an inch uncut so as to hold the potato together

Add the chopped garlic, once the garlic starts sizzling turn the heat off and let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes

6

Add the paprika/chilli powder, nutmeg, pepper and any other spice you'd like to this mixture

Strain the mixture and drizzle it all over the potatoes, make sure it gets inside the slits you make

Sprinkle salt properly (this depends on how salty your cheese is)

Lower the oven temperature to 180 C and bake for another 30 minutes or until potato is cooked through (when you insert a knife in the potato it should come out without any resistance
