Jacket potato with beans and cheese

Ingredients

For 2 portions

• 🥔 2 large potato
• 🥫 400g baked beans
• 🧀 60g cheddar cheese
• 🧈 1 Tbsp butter
• 🥬 60g lettuce

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Scrub the potatoes, dry them, and prick all over with a fork. Rub lightly with a little oil and salt if you like a crisp skin.
2. Bake directly on the oven rack (or on a tray) for 60–75 minutes until the skins are crisp and the insides feel soft when squeezed.
3. About 5 minutes before the potatoes are ready, warm the baked beans in a pan.
4. Split the potatoes open, fluff the insides with a fork and add a knob of butter. Top with the hot beans and the grated cheddar so the cheese begins to melt.
5. Serve with a handful of mixed salad leaves alongside.
