- Whilst the chilli is cooking, preheat the oven to 220°C, 200°C Fan, Gas Mark 7.
- Prick the potatoes several times with a fork and microwave on HIGH (900W) for 8-10 minutes, then finish in the oven for 20 minutes until they are cooked through and the skins are crispy.
- Meanwhile, prepare the salad; put the salad leaves and cucumber into a large bowl, add the dressing and toss gently.
- Cut a cross on top of each jacket potato, squeeze the sides and spoon over the chilli and a dollop of soured cream and some cheese.
