Method
- Scrub and prick the potato all over. Use a microwave-safe plate; at800 W allow about8–12 minutes for one250–300 g potato, turning halfway, then1-minute bursts until completely soft. Stand2 minutes. Appliance and potato size govern.
- Use chilled, ready-boiled eggs. Peel and chop them; the timing assumes they are already cooked.
- Wash the salad vegetables; finely slice spring onion. Mix any measured yoghurt, mayonnaise, mustard, herbs and oil into the cold filling or dressing. Heat baked beans or a cooking sauce separately according to its packet; do not heat lettuce or cucumber.
- Split and fluff the potato. Add the filling and dressing; serve every listed vegetable alongside. Eat immediately. An oven-only jacket needs60–90 minutes plus preheating and is not the25-minute option.
