sweet potato jackets with feta & rocket salad


My sweet potato jackets are basically my sweet potato wedges with feta turned into jacket potatoes - jazzed up a with crispy sea salted skin, rocket leaf salad &  either tabouleh or cous cous



For my sweet potato jackets to serve 4 people you will need

1 sweet potato per person
70g rocket leaf salad
200g feta cheese

To season
sea salt
cracked black pepper
olive oil
lemon juice

  • Start by steaming or par boiling the potatoes till they are cooked through, but not over soft and mushy.
  • Drain any excess water, pat the potatoes dry, brush each potato with olive oil and season with the sea salt and the cracked pepper - rubbing in the salt and pepper into the skin.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking tray or dish, and bake at 220c (fan assisted) for 10-15 minutes or till the skins are crispy and golden.
  • While the potatoes are baking, take the rocket leaf salad, sprinkle a little sea salt over the leaves and a little lemon juice. Mix together well and set aside. Break up the feta and place in a small bowl or plate.
  • Once the potatoes are ready, cut each potato open, add in a little of the feta, then the rocket leaves and finish with a little more feta and serve. 


I often serve extra rocket salad and feta separately in a bowl as my kids absolutely love to much on it if it's on the table going spare, and i'll serve a little tabouleh or cous cous on the side to keep it light but filling at the same time
