Cook in the oven for 30-40 minutes (depending on the size of the potato), until soft all the

way through.

Once cooked, take the potato out of the oven and set aside to cool a little. While the potato

is cooling season the ricotta and slice the vegetables.

Toast the seeds in a dry frying pan until they start to pop.

When the potato is cool enough to handle, make a deep slit lengthways and prise open.

Season inside the potato and carefully mash the potato flesh. Dollop the ricotta on top then

top with the vegetables, season again and scatter with seeds.
