Tuna & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato

easy65 min totalPrep: 5mCook: 60mServes: 1

The jacket potato is a British lunch staple and it absolutely works on a cut if you get the filling right. This lighter tuna mayo swaps most of the mayonnaise for Greek yoghurt — you won't taste the difference.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium baking potato (approx 200g)
  • 1 tin tuna in spring water (145g drained)
  • 50g tinned sweetcorn, drained
  • 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 30g fat-free Greek yoghurt
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Salt, black pepper
  • Side salad (mixed leaves, cucumber)

Method

  1. Prick the potato with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes (or bake at 200°C for 50-60 minutes if you prefer crispy skin).
  2. Drain the tuna and flake into a bowl.
  3. Add the sweetcorn, light mayo, Greek yoghurt, spring onion, and lemon juice. Mix well and season.
  4. Cut the potato open and fluff the inside with a fork.
  5. Pile the tuna mixture on top and serve with a side salad.

Pro Tip

For the crispiest skin, microwave the potato first for 5 minutes, then finish in the oven at 220°C for 15 minutes. Best of both worlds — fast and crispy.

Nutrition Notes

38g protein from a full tin of tuna plus the Greek yoghurt. The potato provides sustained energy from complex carbs. At 450 calories this is a filling, satisfying lunch that doesn't feel like diet food.
