(serves 4)
These potato boats are a great hit with my little one, she seems to like her meals with a story :) They are a bit more effort than just chucking potatoes into the oven, but they are super delicious and very much worth the effort. The potato ends up soft on the inside but tasty and crunchy on the outside and they do make a very neat little meal to present but still messy to eat though, especially with the beans. But, they are eaten very quickly so that in itself makes it worth the effort!
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
4 large potatoes
butter
50 g grated tasty cheese
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220 C.
2. Cut the potatoes in half length-wise and using a melon scooper or a metal spoon, scoop out the middle of the potato leaving a rim around the side.
NB. The inside parts of the potato can be boiled, then roasted too with some olive oil and salt.
3. Place skin side up (hole down) on a tray lined with baking paper and drizzle some oil on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. Turn the potatoes over, gently prick each half of the potato with a fork. Add some butter and bake for another 10 minutes at 200 C.
5. Drizzle some cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Serve warm as a side, or can serve with Mexican beans (or other things that you might want to fill the boat with!).
