Baked Potato With Creamy Vegetable Filling INGREDIENTS 4 large baking potatoes 1 tsp of vegetable oil Salt and ground black pepper to taste 8 tbs soy yogurt 12 tbs cooked fresh sweet-corn (or frozen- canned if unavailable) 4 spring onions, finely chopped 1 medium diced red pepper colour your choice Preheat the oven to 200c - 400f - Gas -6 METHOD FOR FILLING (1) Place the yoghurt, and sweet corn, spring onions, red pepper in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. (2) Now mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, and leave in the fridge to chill until required. METHOD FOR POTATOES (3) First take your potatoes and give them a wash, now pat each potato dry, prick each with a thin skewer about 12 mm deep all around each, now rub the vegetable oil over the potatoes. (4) Next place on a baking sheet, and bake for around 1.5 hours. Check after the first hour of baking time to see if cooked by gently pushing a thin skewer towards the centre of each potato. They are ready if they’re soft all the way through, if not leave until they are. (5) Now take out the oven, cut a cross through the middle of each, and fill each with the filling, and serve with some salad of your choice.
