Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes. Cool and cut each potato into 4 wedges.
  2. Scoop out most of the cooked potato (keep and use for mash or fishcakes - you can freeze it), leaving a shell of potato and skin about 1cm thick. Brush with oil on both sides and season.
  3. Put on a wire rack, set on top of an oven tray. Bake for 30 minutes. Leave until just warm or if you want to make ahead, cool and chill until needed.
  4. Mix the crème fraîche with the horseradish, and season. Put a dollop of the horseradish crème fraîche into each potato skin. Top with some smoked trout and sprinkle with red onion and dill.

A versatile base

These crisp skins make a good base for any topping. Traditionally they are fried, but baking works just as well.

Get Ahead

The potato skins can be prepared a day ahead. Re-crisp in a 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 oven for 3 minutes. The horseradish crème fraîche can be prepared the day before as well.

    Made these as an hors d'oeuvre to go with champagne for a dinner party. Got loads of compliments. My dog, who by accident was left in the room were two plates with these nibblies happened to be on a very low coffee table and who ate half of one plateful, loved them as well :)
