Ingredients
For the baked potatoes
- 4 medium baking potatoes or 12 baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grounded black pepper
For the filling
- 1 can (6 ounces) light water-packed tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese,
- 2 green onions – chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grounded black pepper
Instructions
For the filling
- In a large bowl, mash up the tuna with a fork.
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, black pepper and green onions.
- Keep in a covered container and keep it cool in the fridge.
For the baked potato
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°C. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and prick them all over with a fork.
- Place them on a baking sheet and cook potatoes for 30 to 60 minutes, until their skin is crispy and sticking one with a fork meets no resistance.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove it from the oven and let it cool down a bit, for about 5 minutes.
- Cut the potatoes into quarters but only 3/4 way through.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoon of tuna filling.
- Top with some cheese and freshly cracked pepper.
Notes
If you prefer baked potatoes with softer skins, wrap the potatoes in foil before baking.
