Hot Smoked Mackerel Jackets



Hot Smoked Mackerel Jackets

4 medium baking potatoes

2-3 tbsp horseradish sauce (or to taste)

100ml warm whole milk

1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced at an angle

4 smoked mackerel fillets, skinned and flaked

Cook the potatoes in the microwave until softened turning halfway through. LEAVE TO REST THEY WILL BE HOT. Half the potatoes lengthways and, using a spoon, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a shell of potato around the skin. Heat the grill to high. Mash the potato with the horseradish sauce and the milk until smooth and creamy, then fold in the spring onions and mackerel. Season, then spoon the mash back into the potato skins. Place on a baking tray and grill for 5 mins until the mash is heated through and golden on top.
