salt

_____

2 rashers thick sliced streaky bacon

_____

Filling (combine)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/4 bunch fresh chives (finely diced) Leave some for topping

1/2 tsp olive oil

salt, pepper, lemon rind

METHOD

  2. Slice a little piece off the bottom so potatoes stand sturdy
  3. Place potatoes in a large ziplock bag with olive oil & salt, massage to coat
  4.  Stand potatoes on baking pan and roast on BakeOmatic ‘baked potatoes – medium brown’ or manually on ‘hot air steam 230c (convection full steam) for half an hour.
  5. Remove potatoes and let cool.
