Crisp Skinned Jackets With Cheese Chorizo And Spring Onions Recipes

CRISP-SKINNED JACKETS WITH CHEESE, CHORIZO AND SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then rub with a little oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake on a baking tray on the middle shelf of the oven for 1 hour or until cooked through.
• Heat a griddle pan or grill until hot. Brush the spring onions with a little oil and griddle/grill for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove and keep warm, then griddle/grill the chorizo for 3-4 minutes until crisp. Make a cross in the top of each potato and push the sides to open the tops. Fill with butter (if using) and cheese, then put back in the oven to melt for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the chorizo, spring onions, soured cream, herbs and some black pepper.

CRISPY BAKED POTATOES WITH SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Bake the potatoes for 2 hrs until soft to the middle (alongside the pork is fine).
• Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, most of the spring onions, thyme and plenty of seasoning in a slightly-too-small roasting tin. Use the back of a fish slice or similar to squash the potatoes into a flat-ish compact cake. Chill until ready to finish, for up to a day.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 (when the pork comes out). Drizzle the spuds with a little more oil and roast for 30-40 mins until golden and crisp. Mix the salad cream and soured cream, drizzle over, then scatter with remaining spring onions and more seasoning, and serve.
