Screaming Hot Potatoes

An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 70 minutes

Makes 12 potatoes

• 12 Dutch cream potatoes (the longer ones lend themselves to a screaming face vibe)
• 1/2 cup/250ml/8.8ozs. extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
• 2 tablespoons green spring onions

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 220C/440F and line 2 baking trays with parchment. Wash potatoes well but do not peel. Cut out little eyes and a mouth with a paring knife and roll potatoes all over in oil. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until cooked through. Season well with salt. Scoop the sour cream into a bowl and add sweet chilli sauce and green onions and serve.
