I had a couple of cold jacket potatoes in the fridge along with a bunch of leftover bits from making pizzas at the weekend. I decided to combine the two in this Italian inspired potato skin recipe.

Steps

30 mins

1

Hollow out the potato skins and place in a bowl.
2

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and microwave for 60 seconds to partially cook and soften them. This makes them easier to stir into the mix later.
3

Roughly chop the basil and slice the spring onions.
4

Add all the chopped ingredients, half the grated mozzarella, and a glug of olive oil into the bowl with the potato and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
5

Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins.
6

Top the potatoes with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with paprika. This really helps to ensure they go a rich golden brown in the oven. Bake at 200oC for 20 mins

I served mine with a side salad and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze.
