Tuna & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato
Share
A jacket potato is the ultimate comfort lunch. Crispy skin, fluffy inside, piled high with tuna and sweetcorn. It takes a while in the oven, but almost zero effort. If you can't wait, microwave it. I won't judge.
Ingredients (Serves 1):
- 1 large baking potato
- 1 x 145g tin of tuna in spring water, drained
- 2 tbsp sweetcorn (tinned or frozen)
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- A handful of grated cheese (optional)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Prick the potato all over with a fork.
- Bake for 60–75 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the inside is soft. (Or microwave for 8–10 minutes.)
- Mix the tuna, sweetcorn, yoghurt, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Split the potato open. Pile the tuna mixture on top.
- Sprinkle with cheese if using. Eat immediately.
Why it's gut-friendly: Potatoes are a gentle source of carbohydrates and fibre (especially if you eat the skin). Tuna provides lean protein. Sweetcorn adds fibre. A comforting, satisfying lunch.
