Loaded potato skins (BLW Lunches #1)

B has been eating finger food well for a month or so now. We are really pleased with how baby led weaning is going for us. She struggles a bit with potato as it often falls apart between her fingers. I thought perhaps something baked with cheese would be easier for her (and yummy for us).

I had a bit of time the other morning and had been meaning to try loaded jacket skins for a while. 

4 medium sized potatoes (washed)

4tsp Philadelphia (full fat cream cheese)

Red onion chopped & fried in olive oil 

2oz Lancashire/cheddar cheese grated

Herbs de Provence

I baked the potatoes in a hottish oven (180/190°C) for about an hour 

Then I scooped out the potato centres into a bowl (this happened easily, so I think if it doesn't then the potatoes need longer).

Then I mashed the Philadelphia and into the potato...

...  then stirred in the fried onions and herbs.

I spooned this mix back into the skins. Pressing it down gently and topped with the grated cheese.

I baked these for about 25-30mins in the oven and served with a roasted pumpkin (homegrown)

B loved them! I'll definitely do this again soon!
