Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.
3. While potatoes are baking, make the sauce: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes to thicken, then remove from heat and stir in cheese until it melts.

5. Split potatoes open and serve each topped with cauliflower cheese sauce.Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
