Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 8, 230°C, fan 210°C. In a bowl, mix the sea salt with 100ml water. Prick the potatoes and add one at a time to the water, turning each a few times to coat. Transfer to a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking tray. Bake for 50 mins - 1 hr until very tender.
- Meanwhile, mix in a bowl the shallot, parsley and chives. Add to it the softened butter, lemon zest and juice.
- Brush the potatoes with the vegetable oil and bake for 10 mins more until crisp. Cut the potatoes open and top with the grated Cheddar. Bake for 2-3 mins until the cheese is melted. Serve topped with the herb butter.
