About the Recipe

Buttery, spicy, tangy. Texture: Oh that crust. It's simply wonderful. Along with chunks of chorizo, potatoes, and creamy avocado it's heavenly.

Ingredients

4 Large Baking Potatoes

Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Rapeseed Oil

200 g Chorizo diced

6 Spring Onions finely sliced

1 ripe Avocado

2 Tbsp Soured Cream

Juice of 2 Limes

25g Coriander, leaves picked and chopped

Preparation

Preheat Oven to 200 C


Prick Potatoes with a fork a few times

Bake for about 2 hours depending on size, or until skin is crisp and insides tender. Turn half way through

Cut a large cross in the top of each potato and leave to cool a little


Heat a small frying pan with a dash of Rapeseed Oil over a medium heat

Add the Chorizo

Cook until the Chorizo has released its oil

Turn the heat up slightly and fry the Chorizo until they begin to crisp

Add the Spring Onions

Fry for a minute until softened and then set aside


When cool enough to handle, scoop the potato flesh into a bowl, being careful to leave the skins intact

Mash until smooth

Tip in the Chorizo and Spring Onion mixture, making sure you get as much of the oil as possible

Season to taste

Put the mixture back into the skins and then back into the oven


Bake for 10-15 minutes until hot all the way through


Meanwhile cut the Avocado in half. Remove the stone and scoop out the flesh into a bowl

Mash with a fork into a rough puree

Add the Soured Cream and half the Lime Juice

Use a stick blender to whizz until smooth

Stir in the Coriander, season to taste adding more Lime Juice if necessary


Serve the Jacket Potatoes with a dollop of Avocado Cream on top and fresh Coleslaw
