Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub the skins with the oil and season. Bake for 1hr-1hr 15 mins until the skins are crisp and the flesh is tender when pressed.
- Halve each potato lengthways, then carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl leaving the skin intact. Mash with a fork then stir through ¾ of the cheese. Spoon the mixture back into the skins and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for 15 minutes until melted and golden.
- Meanwhile, boil the peas for 3-4 minutes. Serve the cheesy potatoes with the peas and sliced tomatoes.
