Step 1

Prick the potatoes all over, then microwave on a suitable plate on high for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until a skewer slides easily into the middle. Timings differ depending on the microwave’s power and potato size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 240ºC, gas mark 9. Transfer the potatoes to a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with sea salt flakes, then bake for 15-20 minutes until brown and crisp.

Meanwhile, put the salad onions, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, cayenne and two-thirds of the cheese into a large bowl.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cooked, immediately cut a slit in the tops and, once cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scoop most of the flesh into the bowl with the other ingredients, leaving the skin with a thin layer of potato.

Step 4

Using the back of a fork, mash the potato and incorporate with the salad onion mixture. Stir through the crab and season. Spoon back into the skins, top with the remaining cheese and bake for 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of cayenne. Drizzle the salad with a little oil, then serve, with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
