Optional
- 10 ml (2 tsp) cinnamon
- 60 ml (¼ cup) fresh parsley, chopped

Side dish idea
Stuffed potatoes
Place 4 potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh in the centre, leaving about 1 cm (½ in.) of flesh all around. In a bowl, mash the potato flesh and mix with 125 ml (½ cup) of grated cheddar, 125 ml (½ cup) of sour cream and 30 ml (2 tbsp) of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff the potatoes with this mixture. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes at 205°C (400°F).
