Ingredients
6 medium potatoes
100 g shaved chicken, chopped
1 Tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
2 Tbsp chives, finely chopped
2 cups grated cheese (200 g)
To serve: 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tsp chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C fan bake. Scrub potatoes clean, season with salt, wrap each in foil and place on a baking tray. Bake for about 90 minutes or until tender.
- Remove from oven, unwrap, and cut each potato in half. Scoop out the hot potato flesh into a bowl, keeping the skins intact.
- Place the empty potato shells on a lined tray and return to the oven to crisp while preparing the filling.
- Add chopped chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, chives and 1 cup of the grated cheese to the bowl of potato flesh. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Remove the potato skins from the oven. Switch oven to 210°C fan grill.
- Fill each potato shell with the mixture and top with the remaining cheese.
- Grill for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve hot with sour cream and a sprinkle of chives.
Notes
Add vegetables like corn, spinach, peas or caramelised onions for extra flavour.
A pinch of paprika or pesto adds a delicious twist.
Use mozzarella, smoked cheddar or parmesan for different melt and flavour profiles.
To crisp skins, roast the empty potato shells while preparing filling.
