Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, then roll in the oil and a little salt on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hr until crisp and golden. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Meanwhile, mix the egg yolk, mustard, cheese, beer, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco in a bowl and set aside.
- Halve the cooked potatoes and use a teaspoon to scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving 0.5cm around the edges to support the skins. Mash the flesh with a fork, season, then fold through the spring onions, chives and half the rarebit mix. Spoon back into the skins.
- Spread the remaining rarebit mixture over the top of the potatoes and grill for 2 mins, watching closely, until golden and just starting to catch.
- Tip: Don't let the potatoes cool too long before grilling: the centres should still be hot.
