What she’d tell you
A chilli that fed eight on Sunday will feed four again on Wednesday, and putting it on a potato makes nobody feel like they are eating leftovers. The skin is the point: do not wrap them in foil.
What you need
Written for 4. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.
Tick things off as you get them ready.

How it goes
Heat the oven to 200°C. Prick the potatoes all over, rub them with oil and roll them in salt.
Bake them directly on the shelf for 70 minutes, until a knife goes through with no resistance.
Warm the chilli through gently on the hob for 10 minutes.
Split each potato, push the ends towards each other to open it up, and fluff the inside with a fork.
Spoon the chilli in and finish with cheese, soured cream and spring onions.
If you haven’t got it
Cooked Chilli con Carne
any leftover stew, goulash, or a tin of beans warmed with smoked paprika
Sour Cream
Greek yogurt
Keeping it
The chilli keeps four days; bake the potatoes fresh.
A baked potato reheats poorly. This is one to make on the day.
