Tuna & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato
easy65 min totalPrep: 5mCook: 60mServes: 1
The jacket potato is a British lunch staple and it absolutely works on a cut if you get the filling right. This lighter tuna mayo swaps most of the mayonnaise for Greek yoghurt — you won't taste the difference.
Ingredients
- 1 medium baking potato (approx 200g)
- 1 tin tuna in spring water (145g drained)
- 50g tinned sweetcorn, drained
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 30g fat-free Greek yoghurt
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt, black pepper
- Side salad (mixed leaves, cucumber)
Method
- Prick the potato with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes (or bake at 200°C for 50-60 minutes if you prefer crispy skin).
- Drain the tuna and flake into a bowl.
- Add the sweetcorn, light mayo, Greek yoghurt, spring onion, and lemon juice. Mix well and season.
- Cut the potato open and fluff the inside with a fork.
- Pile the tuna mixture on top and serve with a side salad.
Pro Tip
For the crispiest skin, microwave the potato first for 5 minutes, then finish in the oven at 220°C for 15 minutes. Best of both worlds — fast and crispy.
Nutrition Notes
