Yesterday we bought a sack (yes, a sack!) of potatoes for £2.00!  They look pretty good, but I'm not sure how long they'll keep, so we're likely to be eating potatoes every day for the next couple of weeks.

The first thought is jacket potatoes.  My favourite way of eating jacket potatoes is with home-made coleslaw, although there are lots of lovely combinations - what about scrambled egg with chopped up crispy bacon - or one of the many ideas given below? but before that here's one idea:

Bonfire Jackets

4 large Maris Piper potatoes

6 rashers lean back bacon

75g mature Cheddar cheese, grated

400g tin of kidney beans, drained

4 spring onions, chopped

½-1tsp smoked paprika

75g sweetcorn (optional)

When cooked, remove the potato from the skins and mix with cooked bacon, plus half the cheese and the other ingredients.

Put rest of cheese on top and grill for a few minutes.

Also good with jacket potatoes are the following combinations of fillings:

• Lunchtime special: chopped lambs kidneys and sliced onions, sauted in butter, add s&p, garnish with chopped parsley.
• Walcott Potatoes: scrambled egg, quartered tomatoes, sliced blanched red and green peppers (optional), chopped rashers of grilled bacon. Garnish with rings of green pepper and onions.
• Potato and Kidney Lyonnaise: one small lamb's kidney, cored and sliced, 2 oz onion finely chopped, simmer in two tablespoons stock until cooked and stock has evaporated.
