Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Scrub potatoes and pat dry with paper towel. Prick all over with a fork. Wrap each in foil and place on a baking tray and bake for 1 hour, or until soft when pierced with a skewer. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, spray a non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add diced bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Add spring onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add courgette and corn kernels. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until just tender. Remove pan from heat, stir in parsley, chives and half the cheese, then season with cracked black pepper.
3 Unwrap potatoes and discard foil. Score potato tops with a large cross and press sides to split. Scoop 2 tablespoons of flesh from each potato, place in a large bowl and mash. Add corn mixture to mash, stir well, spoon evenly into potatoes and scatter with remaining cheese.
4 Return potatoes to oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until filling is hot and cheese melted. Serve with salad leaves and vinaigrette.
