Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4.
  • Pierce the skins of 2 Potatoes several times. Put the potatoes into the oven and baked for 60-90 minutes, until they are easily pierced with a fork. Slice the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides and put it into a bowl.
  • Add 4 tablespoon Cream cheese, 25 g Mature cheddar, 6 Sun-dried tomatoes, 110 g Tuna, 4 tablespoon Sweetcorn and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes and mix well.
  • Divide the mixture between the potato skins and top with 25 g Mature cheddar.
  • Put them back in the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Notes

  • Make sure you pat the potatoes dry after washing them, as this will help to get the skin nice and crispy.
  • Oil and season the potatoes well before they go in the oven.
  • You don't want to cook them at too high a temperature, because the skin will get crispy too quickly, but the inside won't be cooked.
  • You can swap the tuna for leftover shredded chicken.
  • You can use any cheese, or a mixture of a few. Make sure it's a cheese that melts well.
  • A little crumbled goats cheese on top of these adds a lot of flavour.
  • You can freeze these potatoes before they are filled to make them quicker to make the next time.
