Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes skin left on but scrubbed lightly
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 145 g can of tuna in spring water drained.
  • 1 tablespoon low fat mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk of celery finely diced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Clove Garlic crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 80 g reduced fat mature cheddar grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C Fan.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork a few times. Rub with a little olive oil and salt and place on a foil lined baking tray.
  • Bake until soft, about 50 – 60 minutes, depending on potato size.
  • Meanwhile, in a small Pyrex bowl mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, thyme, garlic and paprika. Season to taste. Put the fridge until potatoes are baked.
  • Once the potatoes are baked, split open the top down the length of the potato. Squeeze the ends together to open the potato up a little. Sprinkle ½ of the cheese into each potato. Then spoon ½ of the tuna mixture into each potato. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Put the filled potatoes back into the oven and bake for about 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot with a green salad.
