Gluten Free Cottage Pie Loaded Skins

Something a little different and naturally gluten free, these cottage pie loaded skins save on washing up too since you don't need to use a dish, you are using every part of the potato - including the skin as a bowl! These are great for lunch or an easy tea and the best way to serve them is with a nice crispy potato so make sure you take the time to oven bake your baked potato rather than microwave, it's not the same without the crunch!

Recipe by Alison Peters

Ingredients

2 medium sized jacket potatoes
1/2 a medium onion
1 small carrot
250g mince beef
200ml passata (or blend chopped tomatoes until smooth)
1 beef stock cube (I use Knorr)
1tsp mixed herbs
Pinch black pepper
1tbsp milk
40g grated mozzarella
  • Preparation Time: 10 mins
  • Cooking Time: 2 Hours
  • This recipe makes 2 servings

Method

1. Bake your potatoes on a baking tray in an oven preheated to gas mark 7/220c for around 1.5 hours until you get lovely crispy jacket potatoes. These filled skins just aren't the same without a crispy skin! Once cooked set aside while you do the filling.

2. Peel and finely diced the onion and carrot and place in a frying pan, fry until the onion starts to brown and soften.

3. Once softened add the mince beef and fry for a few mins until it starts to brown then add the passata, mixed herbs and crumbled in the stock cube. Stir and continue to cook for 5 or so minutes until all the mince is cooked through.

4. Meanwhile, cut your potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh from either side into a bowl, mash with a little milk to make a nice smooth mash (I use a potato ricer to make the best mash potato!). Place the skins back on a baking tray.

5. Spoon the mince mixture into your potato skins then top with the mash potato, finish off by topping with grated mozzarella.

6. Place your skins back in the oven on gas mark 5/190c for around 20 mins until the cheese has browned and then they are ready to serve!
