Baked potatoes

I have to type this recipe with 1 hand as I have a sleepy cat on my left arm. who could possibly disturb this sleeping beauty??


As for the recipe, here it goes. It's lovely, simple and with very little washing up :D



Serves 4:

4 big baking potatoes
sea salt
75ml vegetable stock
150ml double cream
50g grated Parmesan
4 TBSP pine kernels
1 TBSP mixed Italian herbs
pepper


1. Prick the potatoes with a fork and rub them in sea salt. Arrange them onto a baking tray and cook in 200 degrees pre-heated oven for 60 to 75 minutes until cooked and the skin is crispy.

2. Cut the potatoes in their length and spoon out the flesh. Mash the flesh.

3. Simmer the stock and cream together for 10min until reduced then mix it to the potato mash. Add 80% of pine kernels and cheese, keeping some to sprinkle, add the herbs and pepper. Mix well.

4. Spoon the potato mixture back into the skins, sprinkle with the rest of pine kernels and Parmesan and place in the oven for another 15minutes until golden brown.
