Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 220C/gas 7. Oil and season the potatoes, then bake for 1 hr until a knife slides in easily and the skins are crispy. Cool for 10 mins.
  2. Halve the potatoes lengthways and scoop out the cooked potato into a bowl, leaving a thin layer behind so that the skins still hold their shape. Mash the potato with the butter, mustard and seasoning, then stir in the spring onions, 175g cheese and kidney beans. Pile the mixture into the potato skins and scatter with the remaining cheese. Can be made to this stage a day ahead and chilled. Bake for 30-40 mins until golden. Serve with the sausages and salad (see 'Goes well with').

    This was GORGEOUS. As a veggie I can end up feeling like my meals are missing something substatial but this tasted lovely and filled me up good and proper on a cold winters evening-but be generous with the cheese and butter!

    this were nice but found the mustard a bit overpowering and the kids didnt like the kidney beans. apart from that though they were yum and will def make again with just a tea spoon of mustard and leave it at cheese and onion.
