Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes
• 1 tablespoon oil
• Salt
• 400g tin baked beans
• 80g cheddar, grated
• Knob of butter
• Black pepper

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork.
2. Rub with oil and a little salt and put straight on the oven shelf. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until the skin is crisp and a knife slides easily into the middle.
3. Near the end, warm the beans in a small pan.
4. Split the potatoes open, push in a knob of butter and fluff the insides with a fork.
5. Spoon over the beans, pile on the cheese so it melts, and finish with black pepper.
