Instructions

1
Wash the unpeeled potatoes under running water to remove any traces of soil. Fill a pan with water and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes in their skins until soft, about 20 minutes. Check they are soft by pricking with a fork. Drain and let cool (this step is important because if the potatoes are not fully cool, the skin will fall off when you cut them).
2
Drain the tuna and put into a bowl. Add the tomato sauce and grated cheddar cheese (you can also use any other cheese you have in your fridge). Mix well and set aside.
3
When the potatoes are at room temperature or cold, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Don’t remove all the flesh. You need to leave enough so that the skin doesn't break while you're filling them.
4
Add a little of the potato flesh to the tuna, tomato, and cheese mixture. Mix well.
5
Now fill the potato halves with the mixture. Cover with a little mozzarella cheese and put in the oven at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
6
They're ready to serve as soon as they come out of the oven.
