A simple baked potato recipe that’s full of flavour and low on fat.
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
What You’ll Need:
- 4 medium size potatoes (Estima or Marfona are ideal)
- 300g Ready-to-Eat peppered smoked mackerel fillets
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 4 tbsp half-fat creme fraiche
- watercress/rocket (optional)
- 1 lemon (optional)
What To Do:
- Scrub the potatoes, then dry and prick each one several times with a sharp knife.
- Rub a few drops of olive oil into the potato skin, place the potatoes in a pre-heated oven at 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6 on a baking tray with salt sprinkled around the potato. Bake for 1¼ hours or until soft.
- When the potato is almost ready, in a bowl mix together the mackerel fillets, discarding the skin, with the spring onions and crème fraîche and serve on the jacket.
Top Tips:
You might like to add a handful of watercress or rocket to each jacket. For an even healthier meal, leave out the creme fraiche and mix the fish and onion with a squeeze of lemon juice instead.
Use metal skewers or baking prongs pushed through the potatoes to reduce the cooking time by up to a quarter. Rubbing a few drops of oil into the skin before cooking and sprinkling salt around the potatoes makes the skin extra crispy.
