Step 1

Scrub clean two large baking potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Brush a teaspoon of oil over each potato and sprinkle with salt. Bake the potatoes on a greaseproof paper-covered baking tray at 180C for 50 to 60 minutes until they are fully cooked through. Meanwhile, heat 150ml of milk in a saucepan and add the finely chopped garlic, mustard and a generous sprinkle of black pepper. Simmer for a few minutes then add the fish and prawns until they are just cooked. Transfer the fish and prawns to a bowl with a slotted spoon retaining the sauce. Remove the cooked potatoes from the oven and cool. Cut the jackets in half and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving enough skin so that they maintain their shape. Put this flesh in a bowl and add enough of the milky sauce so that the potato can be mashed but does not become too mushy. Then flake in the fish, add the prawns and parsley and mix well. Spoon this mixture back into the jacket shells and top with grated cheese. Return the jackets to the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese melt and becomes golden brown. Serve
