Potatoes in their skins

Ingredients
1 baking potato
drizzle of olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
salad leaves, to serve
squeeze of lemon, to serve
For the mackerel
1 small smoked mackerel fillet, skinned and flaked
1 tbsp soured cream
1 tsp horseradish sauce
2 tsp snipped fresh chives
For the bacon and cheese
2 streaky bacon rashers, fried until crisp
1 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp grated Cheddar
For the bacon and kale
2 streaky bacon rashers, fried until crisp
handful of kale, blanched and roughly chopped
1 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
For the pea and mint
handful of peas, blanched and slightly crushed
2 tsp plain yoghurt
2 tsp shredded fresh mint
1 tbsp grated Gruyère
Method
Preheat the oven to 210C/190C Fan/Gas 6½. Rub the potato with a little oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size.
Leave the potatoes to cool a little. Use a knife to cut into the potato, leaving a 3mm border. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Return the skins to the oven to crisp up for 6–7 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Whichever filling you are making, simply mix all the ingredients (apart from the cheese) into the mashed potato. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the skins from the oven, spoon in the filling, sprinkle with the cheese if using and bake for a further 6–7 minutes.
Put the salad leaves on a plate, dress with a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with the potatoes.
