Notes
- Make sure you pat the potatoes dry after washing them, as this will help to get the skin nice and crispy.
- Oil and season the potatoes well before they go in the oven.
- You don't want to cook them at too high a temperature, because the skin will get crispy too quickly, but the inside won't be cooked.
- You can swap the tuna for leftover shredded chicken.
- You can use any cheese, or a mixture of a few. Make sure it's a cheese that melts well.
- A little crumbled goats cheese on top of these adds a lot of flavour.
- You can freeze these potatoes before they are filled to make them quicker to make the next time.
