Baked potato with mustard and watercress butter

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes
1 hour

Ingredients

  • 8 baking potatoes
  • Olive oil, for rubbing
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 250 g butter, softened
  • 3 T whole-grain mustard
  • 5 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
  • A handful fresh watercress, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prick the potatoes using a fork, then rub with olive oil and season to taste. Bake for 1 hour, or until the skins are crisp and the flesh soft.

Meanwhile, add the softened butter, mustard, chopped anchovies and watercress to a bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste. Serve the baked potatoes with spoonfuls of the flavoured butter.
