Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- In a large roasting tray, toss the potatoes in the oil and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 50-55 mins until evenly golden, the skin is crisp, and a fork passes easily through the potato. Set aside to cool for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, on a separate tray, bake the bacon in the oven for 12-15 mins until golden and crisp. Finely chop.
- Cut a cross into the top of each potato. Fill each with a teaspoon of cream cheese and top with a sprinkle of crispy bacon, chives, if using, and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately.
