Method

Kumara potato jackets
  • 1
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with foil.
  • 2
    Scrub kumara and pierce all over with a fork. Wrap in plastic wrap; cook in a microwave oven on HIGH (100%) for about 8 minutes or until tender. Cool 5 minutes, then unwrap.

    Cut a 2cm-deep incision, lengthways from one end of the kumara to the other. Using a tea towel, gently squeeze the base of the kumara to open the top. Scoop two thirds of flesh into a small bowl. Repeat with remaining kumara.

    Add egg and half the chives to kumara flesh; stir to combine, season. Divide mixture between kumara and top with crumbled cheese. Place on baking tray.
