    Method

    For the potato

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    2. Rub the potato with olive oil, season with salt, and bake until soft and the skin is crisp, about 1 hour.

      Then 60 min of waiting

    For the mac and cheese

    1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the flour, and stir to form a roux, about 1 minute.

    2. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and bubbling, about 3 minutes.

    3. Stir in the grated Cheddar and black pepper until melted and creamy, about 2 minutes.

    4. Fold in the cooked macaroni until well combined.

    For assembly

    1. Cut a line down the length of the baked potato and gently fluff the inside with a fork.

    2. Sprinkle a little grated Cheddar inside the potato, scoop in the mac and cheese, and top with remaining Cheddar.

    3. Return to the oven or under the grill until the cheese on top is melted and golden brown, 3–5 minutes.

      Then 5 min of waiting
