Snacks and Light Meals Recipes - Piquant Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 4 baking potatoes

  • 25 g/1 oz butter

  • 125 g/4 oz Cheddar cheese, grated

  • 125 g/4 oz sliced cooked ham, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons sweet corn or tomato relish

  • salt and pepper

Method:

  1. Prick the potatoes allover and wrap in foil. Bake in a preheated oven, 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6, for 1-1/2 hours, until soft when squeezed gently.

  2. Cut a large cross in each potato, cutting through the foil. Very carefully squeeze each potato and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, taking care not to pierce the potato skins or foil.

  3. Add the butter to the potato and mash well until smooth. Stir in the cheese, ham and relish. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.

  4. Spoon the mixture back into the skins, return to the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
