Grease a baking dish and line the potatoes.
Drizzle oil to coat well and sprinkle salt and pepper.
Bake for 1 hour in a preheated oven turning the potatoes from time to time.
When potatoes are done, sprinkle shredded cheese and bake for 5-7 minutes more till the cheese melts nicely.

Now keep the bread slice in the center of the dish.
Place the smoldering charcoal piece on the bread slice and let one drop of oil fall on the same.
U will see lot of smoke coming out.
At this very moment, immediately cover the dish with a large lid that will not let the smoke escape from any side.

This dish is very good. It is fancy, so i don't eat it as a family meal. When guests come over that I want to impress, this is the first thing that comes to mind to make for them.

A people's person who never entertains one thing in life -- larger than life EGO of people. My hobbies are numerous and diverse. They range from being an avid reader to decorating home, loving cats, embroidery, painting, writing poems and letters to friends, endless thinking, collecting candles, music, trying various cuisines and reaching out to people. I love cooking and devising ways to smash set patterns of cooking. I do not like over use of spices in the cooking and am dead against using readymade or canned ingredients. Cooking is my favourite prescription for busting all the stress that I accumulate in the work place.
