Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prick the large baking potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 15–20 minutes until tender.
  2. Preheat your oven to 240°C (gas mark 9) for perfect crispy skin.
  3. Transfer cooked potatoes to a roasting tin, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast for 15–20 minutes until skins are crisp.
  4. In a bowl, mix salad onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and two-thirds of the Gruyère cheese.

  6. Stuff the potatoes with the filling and top with remaining Gruyère cheese.
  7. Bake for an additional 3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  8. Serve immediately with a fresh salad of watercress, spinach, and rocket.
