How to:

Preheat oven to 400˚.

With an apple corer, twist and remove the centre of each potato. You can save these little plugs, chop them up, season and roast them. They make good little munchies for the chef!

Zest the lemon and chop fine, and mince the garlic.

For the filling: lay out one slice of bacon. On top of the bacon place 1 fresh sage leaf, 1 anchovy filet, some minced garlic and some lemon zest. Fold the bacon over so that the filling won't fall out. Carefully, and with patience, feed the stuffing through the hole in the potato, twisting gently as you go. You may have to widen the hole slightly. You can let the ends hang out or cut them off.

Rub the potato with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for one hour, turning every 15 minutes to roast evenly.
