Technique 

Wash the potato and prick with a sharp blade a few times on all sides. 

Dry the potato well with kitchen paper and place on a microwave-safe plate. 

Place in the microwave and cook on full power for four minutes. 

Expel the plate utilizing stove gloves and turn the potato over. Dry the potato and the plate and set back into the microwave. 

Heat on full power for a further four minutes. 

Expel the plate and leave the potato to remain for a moment, as it will keep on cooking. Watch that the potato is delicate by pushing a sharp blade into the middle. Come back to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds on the off chance that it is still hard in any part. 

For the leek, apple, cheddar and bacon filling, wash and cut the leek. Place in a little bowl and pound over some dark pepper, if utilizing. Spread the dish with stick film, leaving a little region open, and microwave on full power for two minutes. Grate the cheddar, hack the bacon and mesh the apple into the leeks. 

Sliced the potato down the middle, scoop out the cushioned center and add to the cheddar and vegetables. Blend well and spoon once more into the 'coats'. Put the filled "coats" on a microwave-safe plate and warmth for one moment, or until the cheddar has dissolved. 

For the fish and sweetcorn, open the jars of fish and sweetcorn and channel, then tip into the dish with the mayonnaise and blend with dark pepper, if utilizing. 

Part the coat potato down the middle, generally crush the center with a fork, and spoon over the garnish. 

For the salmon and peas, put the peas into a blending astonish and pour bubbling water from the pot. Leave for five minutes, then deplete and give back the peas to the dish. 

Open the can and deplete the salmon, then add to the peas in the blending dish. 

Measure in the plate of mixed greens cream and blend well. 

Part the coat potato into equal parts, generally pound the center with a fork, and spoon over the garnish. 

For the mushroom and tomato filling, wipe the mushrooms clean with a bit of sodden kitchen paper. Cut them and spot into a microwave-safe bowl and pound over some dark pepper, if utilizing. Microwave on full power for one moment, blend, and after that warmth for a further moment. 

Permit to cool, then blend in alternate fixings.
