Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/428°F/gas mark 7.
- Place the whole potatoes on a baking tray and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/390°F/gas mark 6 and cook for a further 1 hour, until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove from the oven.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut each potato in half. Scoop out the flesh from each half into a bowl and set aside the skins.
- Season the flesh generously with salt and pepper, and add the butter to the bowl. Using a potato masher or a fork, roughly mash the butter, salt and pepper into the potato. Don’t worry if the mixture is not completely smooth.
- Use a spoon to stir in the spring onion, feta, tarragon, garlic granules and nigella seeds, and mix well. Adjust the seasoning if desired.
- Fill the potato skins with the mash mixture and pack the filling firmly into the skins.
- Set the stuffed skins on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, or until just starting to brown on top. Serve hot.
