  6. When the potatoes are cooked, place one on each dinner plate and cut a deep cross into each to open out the potato.
  7. Pour a generous amount of the creamed corn into the centre of each potato. Sprinkle cheese over the top and then scatter the bacon pieces and the spring onions over each.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip
The potatoes are extremely hot so make sure that small children are appropriately warned – perhaps cut the potato up into very small pieces to allow the heat to escape quickly.
