Ingredients

- Tuna canned in water, drained185 g
- Canned sweetcorn, drained120 g
- Reduced-fat commercial mayonnaise40 g
- Lemon juice20 g

Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C conventional (200°C fan). Prick the potatoes several times, place on a tray and bake for 50–65 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a knife slides easily through the centre.
- While the potatoes bake, drain the tuna and sweetcorn thoroughly. Mix them with the mayonnaise, lemon juice and black pepper, breaking the tuna into flakes.
- Split the hot potatoes, fluff the centres with a fork and divide the tuna mixture between them. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, until the filling is hot throughout, then serve.

Estimates from the identified food records, including dated product labels where specified. “Not reported” is unknown; partial totals may be incomplete. Whole-batch amounts are not compared against one person’s daily reference. Per-serving percentages compare one serving with daily RDI/AI targets for Women 31–50 years, not upper limits. Values use foods in their recorded states; additional cooking losses are not modelled unless you select a supported method when editing ingredients.
