Low-fat tuna cheese jacket potato

Baked potatoes form the basis of so many of our favourite family meals, and this recipe makes use of a really popular addition: tuna.

This low-fat tuna cheese jacket potato is 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 (10.58 oz) 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/400F (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.
