Method

You'll need
  • Oven
  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Scrub the potatoes, prick each one a few times with a fork, rub with a little oil and salt, and bake straight on the oven shelf for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and the middle is soft when squeezed.1 kg white potatoes
  2. For the slaw, finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrot. Mix with the yoghurt and a pinch of salt and pepper.¼ cabbage100 g carrots60 g natural yoghurt
  3. Grate the cheese. A few minutes before the potatoes are ready, warm the baked beans in a small pan over a low heat, stirring.2 tins baked beans120 g mature cheddar
  4. Cut a cross in the top of each potato and squeeze it open. Put the beans, cheese and slaw on the table and let everyone top their own.
The trick that makes it

Rub the potatoes with oil and salt before baking for skins you'll actually want to eat.

Tip: Microwave the potatoes for 8 minutes first to cut the oven time in half.
