How to make Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes
Tips from the cook
- Poke holes and bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack, so the skins turn crisp.
- Leave a sturdy shell when scooping, so the potato holds the egg.
- Press a deep well into the centre, so the egg does not spill over.
- Bake until the whites are set and the yolks slightly runny. Add a few minutes for firmer yolks.
- Bake and mash the potatoes a day ahead, then fill, add the egg and do the second bake just before serving.
