Twice baked jacket potato

Serves 1 (approx 390 kcal)

Ingredients

200g floury potato, scrubbed (such as Rooster or Maris Piper) 1 tsp rapeseed oil (5g)

2 tsp sour cream (10g)

1 tsp snipped fresh chives (optional)

20g Cheddar cheese

25g baby spinach or mixed baby salad leaves

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Pierce the potato a couple of times with a fork to prevent it from splitting while it is cooking and rub all over with the oil to help the skin crisp up, then wrap in foil. Place the potato directly on the oven shelf. Bake for 1 hour until slightly softened when squeezed. Either use immediately or leave until cool enough to handle and chill in the fridge for up to 2 days.

2. To stuff the jacket potatoes, keep the oven temperature the same. Cut each potato in half, carefully scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving the skin unbroken. Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and add the sour cream and chives, if using. Season lightly with a little salt, if using, and pepper to taste.

3. Arrange the potato shells back on a baking sheet and carefully scoop the mixture back into the shells. Grate over the cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes until piping hot and golden.

4. Arrange the twice-baked jacket potato on a plate with the spinach or baby mixed salad leaves to serve.

Prepare ahead: Keep the cooked jacket potato covered with cling-film in the fridge for up to 2 days and once the potatoes have been stuffed with the filling, they will keep for another 2 days, again covered with cling-film in the fridge. To heat up, bake as described above. To transport, store in a suitable microwaveable container and cook on high for 3 minutes until piping hot.
