Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 1 hour

Baked potatoes with poached egg and tuna sauce : Stage 1

Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).

Wash 4 potatoes (choose nice large ones), but do not peel. Sit them on a baking sheet then use a brush to coat them with olive oil. Sprinkle with fine salt and bake for about an hour.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Baked potatoes with poached egg and tuna sauce : Stage 2

Meanwhile, make

The tuna and caper sauce

Put into a blender goblet: 2 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 120 g tuna in oil, 2 anchovys fillets, 1 sprig parsley, 15 g capers, salt and pepper.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Stage 4

...until the texture is thick and smooth.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Baked potatoes with poached egg and tuna sauce : Stage 5

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Baked potatoes with poached egg and tuna sauce : Stage 6

Take the potatoes out of the oven when they are golden brown and the skin is crisp.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Baked potatoes with poached egg and tuna sauce : Stage 7

Sit a potato on each plate, split down the middle and slip a poached egg into the opening. Pour the tuna and caper sauce generously over and scatter a few chopped capers on top.

Serve immediately.

Remarks

If your tuna in oil is not top quality (the French brand "Le Connétable" is a good one I recommend, even if a bit pricey), don't use the oil from the tin, stick with olive oil.

The quantity of olive oil to add in #stage 3 is for guidance, so stop as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.

In French, potatoes baked in their skins are described as "en robe des champs" (in their field gowns - a quaint way of saying "as they come from the field"). A classic way French kids deform this is to say that the potatoes are "en robe de chambre" (in their dressing gowns). This worked for me and my sisters when we were small, it worked for my boys; I wouldn't be surprised if it works one day for my grandchildren. I hope you like it too.

Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.

Cream sauce with Vin Jaune

This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune. The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour.
