Caviar baked potatoes

This is my favourite way to eat caviar. It’s decadent & indulgent, & it will be the best jacket potato you will ever eat.

Serves 4

2 small baking potatoes weighing about 200g each

60g caviar 

60-70g butter

1 spring onion, halved lengthways and finely chopped

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 5. Place the potatoes on a tray & bake for about an hour, or until soft. Leave to cool then halve them.

Scoop the potato into a bowl, keeping the skins, & mash with the butter & spring onion. Season to taste & keep warm.

Place the skins on a tray, scooped-out side down, & rub with a little butter. Return to the oven for about 10 minutes or so until crisp.

To serve, refill the skins with the hot mashed potato, then spoon the caviar over the potato until it's covered.
