Preperation and cooking times
Cook min 1 hr 30 mins
Ready in 1 hour 30 mins- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
