Baked potatoes form the basis of so many of our favourite family meals, and this recipe makes use of a really popular addition: tuna. It’s packed with flavour, high in protein, low in fat and when paired with naturally fat-free cottage cheese and a sprinkling of chives, makes for a delicious mid-week meal.
Here’s how to make this tasty fish dish.
Ingredients
- 2 baking potatoes
- 2 cans of Princes Tuna in Springwater
- 300g Fat free cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
Skewer the potatoes through a few times to allow steam to reach the middle, then bake in a preheated 200C (180C fan) oven for 1 hour.
Mix the tuna and cottage cheese in a bowl.
Add the salt, pepper and half the chives.
Add a squeeze of lemon and mix well. Cut the potatoes in half lengthways and serve a half for each person.
Top each potato with a quarter of the tuna mix and finish with a sprinkle of the remaining chives.
Serve with salad. Sprinkle with a little of your favourite seasoning if you wish – I love paprika.
