Calories: 609kcal
Equipment
- 1 grater
- 1 air fryer Optional
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Potato
- 250 grams Cheddar Cheese use around half the mix in this recipe
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 10 millilitres Milk or Beer
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Oil to rub the potato
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potato
- Put the potato in a microwave and cook on 800w for 3-4 minutes. For a lower wattage adjust the time so that you have a potato that is just soft when pressed firmly. If you are cooking more than one potato it will take longer in the microwave. Around 6 minutes for two potatoes and around 8 minutes for four.
- Once the potato has been softened, put it into the air fryer. My setting is for a Russell Hobbs Actifry and is airfry at 215C. If you are using a fan oven I suggest a setting of 180C or 200C for a normal oven.
- Meanwhile make up the cheese mix by first grating the cheese
- Season with salt and pepper and mustard
- Stir through the egg and mix well with a fork
- Add enough milk to make a thick mixture
- After 15 minutes remove the potato from the air fryer.
- Cut it in half and scoop out the flesh
- Mash the flesh well with a fork then add a teaspoon of the cheese mixture
- heap the mix back into the potato skins and press down firmly
- Top with enough cheese mixture to cover the potato
- Put back into the air fryer for a further 5 to 8 minutes, till the topping is golden and bubbling
- Serve immediately
