Cheesy pancetta stuffed baked potatoes - a delicious midday delight.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (about 220g each) sebago (washed) potatoes
  • 8 thin slices mild pancetta
  • 40g semi-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 13.80 gm olive oil
  • 40.00 ml finely grated parmesan
  • 62.50 ml fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt & ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Pierce the potatoes with a fork all over. Arrange them evenly on the outer edge of the microwave turntable. Microwave on High/800 watts/100% power for 6 minutes. Turn the potatoes and microwave on High/800 watts/100% power for 5-6 minutes, or until firm when tested with a skewer. Wrap each potato in foil and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • Place pancetta in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave on High for 3-5 minutes until golden. Allow to cool, then break into pieces.
  • 1. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the flesh, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Mash the potato flesh, then mix in tomatoes, oil, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of thyme, and 2/3 of the pancetta. Season with salt and pepper. Fill potato shells evenly with mixture. Sprinkle remaining pancetta and thyme on top.
