2 medium-large sweet potatoes (each around 250g), scrubbed

2 smoked mackerel fillets (each around 75g), skinned

10 cherry tomatoes, quartered

¼ cucumber, cut into roughly 1cm chunks

2 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise

4 tbsp full-fat live Greek yogurt

4-6 radishes, finely sliced, or pickled red onions (see recipe on page 39), to serve (optional)

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray and prick each one a couple of times with a fork. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender (see Cook’s tip).
  • Just before the potatoes are ready, flake the mackerel fillets into a bowl and add the tomatoes, cucumber, mayonnaise and yogurt. Season with freshly ground black pepper and mash together roughly.
  • Divide the sweet potatoes between two plates and make a cross in the middle of each one. Open out, stuff with the mackerel mixture, top with the sliced radishes and serve.
