I’m on a roll here bringing you yet another Friends’ Faves recipe. The challenge – baking potatoes. Can you make this without a conventional oven Christine asked? I’m confident was my response. I have ‘baked’ potatoes before – my favourite being the Salted Baked Potatoes and Roasted Garlic (recipe here), and another potato favourite in my galley is Potato Stacks – an elegant way to serve the lowly potato (recipe here).

I made six for the two of us but the filling could easily have been enough for eight mushrooms. I really over filled them. I spiced up the filling with some dried chilis but other seasoning could have been added. Try tarragon,…
