Sour Cream and Horseradish Twice Baked Potatoes
preheat the oven to 200oC/400oF
Serves 3 as a lunch/supper or 6 as a side dish
3 large floury baking potatoes, preferably King Edward
3 large egg yolks
5 fl.oz/142ml carton double cream
3-4 tbsp grated hot horseradish
1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 oz/50g butter
Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour until the insides are soft. Whisk the egg
yolks, cream, 3 tbsp horseradish and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a large bowl. Cut the
potatoes in half and spoon the insides into the bowl, reserving the skins. Mash
the potato and flavourings together, then season with salt and a little pepper.
Taste and add more horseradish and/or lemon juice if required. Pile the potato
back into the skins, then place the potatoes on a baking tray. Loosely cover
with cling film and keep them cool, not chilled.
Half an hour before serving - remove the film, dot the filling with scraps of
butter and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the tops are browned.
Serve with a tomato salad.
