Ingredients

• 6 x Maris Piper Potatoes – approx. 150g each
• 60ml Olive Oil
• Sea Salt and Black Pepper

For the butter  

• 70g Salted Butter
• 50ml Maple Syrup
• ½ tsp Paprika
• ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200c/400f/gas 6.
2. Put two chop sticks or wooden spoon handles alongside the length of each potato.
3. With a sharp knife cut down to the chopstick, this will stop you cutting right through the potato – make cuts all along the length of each potato.
4. Put the potatoes onto a greased baking sheet.
5. Rub them with the olive oil and season with some salt and pepper.
6. Bake for 60 mins.
7. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the black pepper and cook on a high heat till the butter starts to brown, take off the heat and add the maple syrup – this will splutter – keep stirring till it stops, add the paprika.
8. Pour over the potatoes and serve.
