Crisp-skinned jacket potatoes split and piled with chickpeas in a mild curried mayo with fresh mango.

Ingredients

Serves 4.

  • 2 lb russet potatoes, 4 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed
  • 4 oz mayonnaise
  • ½ lemon
  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp curry powder (mild)
  • salt, to taste

Contains: egg, mustard. Check the label: wheat (gluten), sulfites. Always read the labels if you cook for someone with an allergy.

Method

  1. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high for 12–14 minutes, turning halfway, until a skewer slides in easily. Meanwhile, heat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and a pinch of salt and air-fry in a single layer for 8 minutes, until the skins are crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, curry powder and the juice of the lemon with 1 tablespoon of water. Fold in the chickpeas, mango and most of the green onions, crushing a few chickpeas, and season with salt.
  4. Split the potatoes, fluff the insides with a fork, pile in the chickpeas and scatter with the rest of the green onions and the cilantro.
No air fryer? Bake them at 425°F for 15 minutes.
Tip: Starting the potatoes in the microwave cuts an hour of baking down to minutes; the air fryer then gives the skins their crunch.

Leftovers: The chickpea filling keeps in the fridge for 2 days; cook the potatoes fresh.
