Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then microwave for 10 mins*. Transfer to a baking tray, rub with the oil, then bake for 45 mins until crisp and tender.
  2. Halve the potatoes and scoop out the centres, putting them in a bowl. Mix with the cheese, spring onions, tuna and parsley, then spoon back into the potato shells. Return to the oven for 15 mins or until crisp and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the lettuce and cucumber in a bowl. Serve alongside the tuna melt potato skins with a little yogurt alongside,
  • Tip: Try using an air-fryer to cook the potatoes. Follow the machine instructions for baking potatoes, then cook the filled potatoes for 5-10 mins at 180°C until crisp and golden. You may need to do this in 2 batches.
