• 6 whole russet potatoes
• 8 oz 14% sour cream

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 400
2. Poke the potatoes a few times with a fork then bake the potatoes whole for about an hour or until soft all the way through
3. Remove the potatoes from the oven for 20 mins or so, or until they are cool enough to handle.
4. Cut the potatoes in half, and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Mix/mash the flesh with the sour cream, butter, chives ans salmon bits.
5. Refill 8 of the 12 skins (discard the other 4) with all of the inner potato mash so they over-flow then sprinkle with Panko and Parmesan cheese.
