Curried Egg Mayonnaise with Ham & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato - Fab Food 4 All

The great thing about growing older is the fact that you have an abundance of food memories and every now and then you can dig one out and relive it. One such food memory for me is this Curried Egg Mayonnaise with Ham & Sweetcorn Jacket Potato.

When I was a teen there used to be a lovely eatery in Guildford called The Danish Kitchen (correct me if I’m wrong) and I’d often go there with my family for lunch. As well as the usual Danish open sandwiches (smørrebrød) they also had a counter serving jacket potatoes and this was my favourite filling.

I’ve made it a few times over the years but it’s been many many years since I last made this and it suddenly popped into my head the other day when I wanted something quick, delicious and easy to make for dinner. With summer here I want to eat more salad based meals and this fits in perfectly.

To makes things easy for yourself just boil up the eggs the night before and pop in the fridge ready to make up the filling the next day. If you find yourself short of time for baking the potatoes I’ll sometimes cheat and start them off in the microwave and then give them a blast in the oven to get that crispy skin that is oh so delicious.

      Fab Chantelle, do try it with the sweetcorn and then ham and sweetcorn. It’s my absolute favourite jacket potato topping:-)

    Yesterday we had tuna, mayo, sweetcorn jacket potatoes – it’s my usual! But his looks amazing!! I will give it a go. I like the addition of curry seasoning.

    We often have baked potatoes with egg mayo & ham or bacon. Adding the sweetcorn sounds interesting. Wife would want any curry powder in there though…..

      You could always just it the curry powder to your portion:-)
