Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 large potatoes scrubbed but not peeled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas Mark 7.

Great with beans and low-fat grated cheese. Alternatively, you could parboil the potatoes for about 20 minutes, then prick them, cover them with oil and bake for 15 minutes in a conventional oven at 180°C or 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
