    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then microwave on high for 10 mins or until tender. Transfer to a tray, rub all over with the oil, then bake for 10 mins or until crisp and tender.
    2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and herbs together; set aside.
    3. Halve the potatoes lengthways and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash, then stir in the sausage ragu; season. Return the skins to the tray, fill with the mash mixture, then top with the mozzarella and herby breadcrumbs.
    4. Bake for 13-15 mins or until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden. Serve with the salad leaves.
