Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Scrub and dry the potatoes, prick them a few times with a fork and wrap in foil. Bake at 200 °C for 60-70 minutes until a knife slides in easily.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, dice the carrot small; boil the carrot, peas and corn for 5-6 minutes, drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix the cooled carrot and peas with the mayonnaise to make the Russian salad; keep the corn separate.

  4. 4

    Slice the sausages into rounds and fry them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Slice the olives and dice the pickles.

  5. 5

    Unwrap the potatoes and split them lengthwise across the top. Divide the butter and kashar among them and mash the flesh with a fork, without tearing the skin, until the cheese melts and it is smooth.

  6. 6

    Top each potato with the corn, olives, pickles, sausage and Russian salad, drizzle with the ketchup and serve hot.
