Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes 14 oz each
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil 15mL
- 1 tablespoon fine sea salt 15g, for the potato skins
- 2 tablespoons salted butter 28g, divided
- fine sea salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (13.7oz.) can Heinz baked beans in rich tomato sauce 390g
- 1½ cups shredded white cheddar cheese 170g, divided
- fresh chives finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Scrub the 4 large russet potatoes well, then dry them completely so the skins crisp well.
- Place a baking sheet or a sheet of foil on the lower oven rack to catch any salt or drips.
- Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Use 1 tablespoon avocado oil to coat the potatoes, then rub the oiled skins with 1 tablespoon fine sea salt.
- Place them directly on the center oven rack and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, until the skins are crisp and the centers feel soft when pressed.
- Warm the 1 (13.7oz.) can Heinz baked beans in rich tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cut a cross into the top of each potato by making one slit lengthwise and one slit across the center. Press the sides inward to open the potatoes.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to each potato, then season the insides with fine sea salt and ground black pepper. Fluff the centers with a fork.
- Top each potato with some of the 1½ cups shredded white cheddar cheese, then spoon the hot baked beans over the top. Finish with the remaining cheese.
- Scatter the fresh chives over the top and finish with additional salt and black pepper. Serve right away while the skins are still crisp.
Notes
- The 415g can of beans in rich tomato sauce are more widely available and can be used also.
