Step 1

Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with the prongs of a fork and microwave them until they are cooked. (If you don't have a microwave, preheat the oven to 200?C (fan 180?C/gas mark 6) and bake the potatoes for 1/4-14 hours until golden brown and cooked through.)

Step 2

Cook the bacon medallions under the grill, in the oven or in a dry frying pan on the hob, then set aside

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 200?C (fan 180?C/gas mark 6).

Step 4

Allow the cooked potatoes to cool slightly (just enough so you can handle them without burning yourself) then cut them in half lengthways and scoop out the potato into a bowl

Step 5

Chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 6

Mash the potato roughly with a fork, then stir in the spring onions and cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Step 7

Spoon the mixture back into the empty potato shells, pressing it in slightly. Top each potato with the chopped bacon and an even sprinkle of Parmesan. Place the filled potato shells on a baking tray and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown, and serve
