BAKED SPUD WITH LOADS OF SALAD

Take the time to bake your potatoes in the oven (instead of the microwave) you will be so glad you did. My oven is quite slow - so it took just over an hour - but I baked 4 potatoes to feed the guests, so we just sat drinking wine while the oven did all the work. Serve piled with salad such as avo, tomato and rocket - drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and a blob of yogurt if desired.
