Stuffed Potatoes
Ah, the humble baked potato. Can there be a more versatile, yummy option for lunch? Especially with so many delicious baked potato toppings and recipes to try out on them!
The perfect baked potato has a crispy jacket, a hot, soft centre, and is oozing with melted butter... sigh! It's delicious on its own, and super healthy to boot, but the jacket potato can be SO much more amazing! You can top it with just about anything; from simple to sumptuous... when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was super hungry at lunchtime but wanted to eat something that was both satisfying and healthy. I had even more of a thing for jacket potatoes than I do normally, but was getting bored of the same old cheese, ham or prawn combos. So I explored all kinds of different topping ideas, using my favourite foods, healthy things to eat in pregnancy and ways to use up leftovers as inspiration! Food Preparation Skills Required:
Tips & Techniques:
You must put a non-slip mat, tea towel or dish cloth under your chopping board so it is secure when you are prepping.
Make sure you check that your potato is cooked before moving on to the next step in the recipe. If the skewer doesn’t easily pass through your potato, cook for another 30 seconds then test again (repeat until cooked through). It is important to dice all of your ingredients consistently. This allows them not only to cook evenly but also improves the presentation of your final product. Remember: no metal in the microwave! |
