Ingredients

  • 4 large Red Jacket potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup cooled Quick and Easy Bolognese Sauce (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 2/3 cup grated pizza cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, to serve
  • Salad leaves, to serve

Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  • Step 2

    Cut 3mm-thick slices along each potato, being careful not to cut the whole way through. Place on prepared tray. Drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour or until tender.

  • Step 3

    Combine bolognese and pesto in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto the potatoes, pushing into the cuts. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes or until bolognese is heated through and cheese is melted and golden.

  • Step 4

    Stand potatoes for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with basil. Serve with salad.
