Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Rub the baking potatoes with olive oil and flaked salt, and wrap them in aluminum foil.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and add the milk while whisking, until the sauce thickens.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Tips & tricks

Prick the potatoes lightly with a fork if baking them without foil. This lets steam escape and gives a drier, better skin, especially if you like a more rustic baked potato.

Did you know?

Baking potatoes are best when they have enough time for the starch inside to become soft and fluffy. Cheddar sauce adds salt, richness and creaminess, turning the potato into a more filling dish. The combination of crisp skin, soft center and warm cheese sauce is what makes baked potato so satisfying.
