This is a classic supper dish that uses-up left-over cooked fish by mixing with baked potato flesh and then re-stuffing the potatoes.
Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes
60g (2 oz) butter
1 tsp anchovy extract
200g to 300g [9 oz] left-over cooked fish, boned and flaked
75g (3 oz) Scottish Cheddar cheese (orange), grated
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Prick the potatoes with a knife then place in an oven pre-heated to 200ºC (400ºF) and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the potato flesh is soft and fluffy.
Spit the potatoes in half then scoop out the flesh and mix in a bowl with the butter, anchovy extract and flaked fish. Season to taste then stuff the mixture back in the potato skins.
Sprinkle over the grated cheese then place under a hot grill (broiler) and cook until the cheese has melted and is golden.
