Baked potato skins with bacon and Goat's cheese

Preperation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 1 hour 25 mins
Serves: 4

Recipe Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes, washed and pricked with a fork;
4 rashers back bacon, grilled;
200g Goat's cheese;
2 tbsp olive oil;
salt and pepper;
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.

Recipe Method

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and lighlty brush with some of the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated oven (200c/gas 6) for roughly an hour until the potato is cooked through.

Lengthways, cut the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato around each shell. Cut each in half again to give 16 wedges.

Return the wedges to the baking sheet, flesh-side up. Brush with remaining oil and season. Bake for a further 15 mins until crispy.

Meanwhile finely chop the cooked bacon rashers. Slice the goat's cheese into thin rounds.

Remove the potato skins from the oven and place 2 slices of cheese on top of each potato skin. Grill for 2 mins until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle the chopped bacon and parsley over the melted cheese and serve.
