Jacket Potatoes with Pesto Sour Cream

Serves 6-10 Prep Time 10 minutes   Rated:

I bet you didn’t know you could do jacket potatoes in the Thermomix, did you? Technically they are finished in the dry heat of an oven, which gives the nice skin that we are accustomed to, but pre-steaming means they retain their shape (great for presentation), flavour (great for your diners) and nutrients (great for your body). You could even pre-steam them a few days in advance, before finishing them off in the oven just before serving - a great timesaver. As for Pesto Sour Cream - I could package and market it, but it would never taste as good as this. Aren’t you glad you have a Thermomix?
