INGREDIENTS

  • BAKED POTATOES
  • Large potatoes 4
  • Butter 4 Tbsp (60 ml)
  • Cheddar cheese, grated 1⁄2 cup (125 ml)
  • Chopped chives to garnish
  • Sour cream 250 ml
  • PILCHARD MAYO MIX
  • Lucky Star Pilchards in Sweet Chilli Sauce 1 can (400 g)
  • Mayonnaise 1⁄4 cup (60 ml)

METHOD

  1. BAKED POTATOES:
  2. Scrub to clean the potatoes and poke each potato with a fork, 5 - 7 times.
  3. Place the potatoes directly onto the microwave plate and cook potatoes for 10 - 15 minutes, turning after 5 minutes. (Check if the potatoes are cooked by gently piercing them with a fork. If the fork easily pierces the potato then they are cooked).
  4. Carefully slit across to open the potatoes from the top, add a spoon of butter per potato, then add a spoon of the pilchard mayo mixture on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
  5. Place the potatoes back into the microwave and cook for another minute or two until the cheese has melted.
  6. PILCHARD MAYO MIX:
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the pilchards and mayonnaise together and mix well, but gently to keep some nice pilchards chunks, and set aside.
  8. SERVING SUGGESTION:
  9. Serve with a dollop of smooth sour cream onto each potato and garnish with chopped chives.
