200g essential Waitrose Petits Pois
4 essential Waitrose salad onions, thinly sliced
30g essential Waitrose Lighter Soft Cheese
2 tbsp green pesto
Essential Waitrose Smoked Mackerel Fillets, flaked

Method

Prick the potatoes and bake in an oven preheated to 200ºC, gas mark 6 for 1 hour or microwave for 8–10 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, cook the peas in a large pan of boiling water for 2 minutes then add the salad onions and drain immediately.
Halve the jackets and scoop out the potato to leave a 5mm-thick shell. Roughly mash together the potato, soft cheese and pesto. Gently stir in the peas, salad onions and the mackerel.
Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and serve immediately.
