You can do the first bit of cooking in a microwave if you want to speed things up. Cook the potatoes on full power for 10-15 minutes, turning them a couple of times.

    These are really nice. Note that they are very filling so if you are accompanying it with anything you might not want to go too crazy. I have a huge appetite and generally do the equivalent of servings for two people for myself; in this case I struggled after the first serving! I microwaved the potatoes for the first part to save time and it worked fine.

    This is so simple and is so full of flavour. Defo beats baked beans and cheese as a topping.
