Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork.
- Microwave the potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes until they're tender at the centre when stabbed (test the biggest).
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Place directly on the oven rack (no tray). Roast 25-30 minutes until the skin is shatteringly crisp.
- Drain the tuna well. Tip into a bowl. Mash with the back of a fork to break up.
- Add the mayonnaise, drained sweetcorn, chopped spring onion (whites + most greens), squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. Fold gently — don't mash to paste.
- Lift the potatoes onto plates. Split each open with a serrated knife, push the sides to fluff the centre. Add a knob of butter into each, salt and pepper.
- Pile the tuna mayo generously into each potato. Scatter cheddar and the rest of the spring onion green. Serve with a small side salad of leaves, tomato and cucumber tossed with a balsamic dressing.
