The Baked Potatoes can be done in advance. We brush the skins with a little oil which gives a lovely crispy finish. Bake in a hot oven (180 C / Gas Mark 5) for about 1 hour 30 mins until the potatoes are tender.
When they are cool enough to handle, scoop out half of the soft potato and mix it with cooked, diced bacon, grated cheese, our Red Onion Marmalade for added flavour and Real Mayonnaise for a special smooth finish. Re-load the skins, grate cheese over the top and pop them on a baking sheet and into a hot oven for 10 minutes or so until the cheese bubbles adorably.
The fillings can be as simple or as complex as you like but one thing they must be, is tasty.
With Stokes in the cupboard, ‘great taste’ is only a short reach away.
