I pop mine on a bed of sea salt in the oven with a metal skewer through them

The salt helps the skin crisp and the skewer conducts heat to the centre

And lashings of tuna and mayo

Microwave then oven, as the skin has to be crispy. Skin is my fave part !

Is this the outside of the skins that are basted and seasoned, prior to going in the oven? I'd like to give this a whirl.

Just to spoil your fun, baked spuds are nearly as bad as sugars in terms of pumping carbs into the bloodstream as the carbohydrate chains are so thoroughly broken down by the cooking.

Enjoy!!
