Baked Potato with Cheesy Pilchard Mayo
Ingredients:
For the Pilchard Mayo:
1 can Lucky Star pilchards in Sweet Chilli Sauce
3-4 tbsp mayonnaise
For the Pilchard Mayo Baked Potatoes:
2 Large potatoes
2-4 tbsp butter
Pilchard mayo
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Serving suggestion:
Sour cream
Chives, chopped
Method:
For the Pilchard Mayo:
1. Remove only the pilchards from the tins, remove and discard the bones using a fork (this
is an optional step – as it is totally safe to eat the bones) and place into a shallow bowl.
2. Add the mayonnaise to the pilchards and mix well, but gently to keep some nice chunks.
For the Pilchard Mayo Baked Potatoes:
1. Scrub to clean the potatoes and poke each potato with a fork, 5-7 times.
2. Place the potatoes directly onto the microwave plate. 2 potatoes: 10-12 minutes & 4 potatoes: 15-17 minutes
3. When the time is up, check that the potatoes are cooked by gently piercing with a fork. The fork should easily pierce the potato.
4. Carefully cut open the potatoes from the top, add a spoon of butter and mix slightly with a fork. Season.
5. Spoon the pilchard mayo mixture on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
6. Place the potatoes back into the microwave for another minute until the cheese has melted.
7. Add a dollop of sour cream onto each potato and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve and ENJOY!
