Nigellas criss cross potatoes (slimming world friendly)

I have had the privilege of meeting Nigella Lawson twice I have loved her cookery books and TV series for years and she has always been so lovely and gracious and yes she is as beautiful in the flesh as she is on TV.

I have been looking through her book 'Simply Nigella' all weekend and found many recipes which with a little adjustment could be slimming world friendly but this one in particular I thought sounded delicious a cross between a roast potato and a baked potato? Yes please!!


This is hardly even a recipe but it works brilliantly. ..


Nigellas Criss Cross Potatoes


4 large baking potatoes (cut in half lengthways)
low calorie spray oil
sea salt

Put your oven on gas 7 /225/450 and place the potatoes in a roasting tin.

Make criss cross cuts in the top of each potato with a sharp knife not too deeply just about 1-2cm deep. 

Spray the potatoes with low calorie spray oil and sprinkle generously with salt.

Roast for approximately 45 minutes until brown and beautiful.
