• 4 medium size potatoes (175g-225g/6-8oz each)
  • 300g Mourne Fishbox smoked mackerel fillets
  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 4 tbsp Half-fat creme fraiche
  • Watercress/rocket
  • 1 lemon

METHOD

Scrub the potatoes, then dry and prick each one several times with a sharp knife.

Microwave Method: Cook one potato (225g/8oz) for 6 mins on full power (800W), turn half way through cooking. Allow to stand for 1 – 2 minutes before serving. If cooking more than one potato at a time you need to increase the cooking time accordingly.

Oven Method: Rub a few drops of olive oil into the potato skin, place the potatoes in a pre-heated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 on a baking tray with salt sprinkled around the potato. Bake for 1¼ hours or until soft.

When the potato is almost ready, in a bowl mix together the mackerel fillets, discarding the skin, with the spring onions and creme fraiche and serve on the jacket.
