   There’s then a row of other toppings that you can just point at to your heart’s content – sweetcorn, olives, salami, coleslaw, Russian salad, allsorts – and you walk away with an over-stuffed potato because you got ever-excited by the choices on offer.

3. 3

   Grate (roughly – you can use as much as you like) 150g of cheese.

4. 4

   Finely chop one onion and one sweet red pepper.
