| Mix the [[Grated|grated]] [[Cheddar cheese|cheddar cheese]], chopped [[dill]] and [[Black pepper|black pepper]] in a bowl
| After 50 minutes, carefully remove the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and [[Scoop|scoop]] out enough [[Potato|potato]] to make room for the filling
| Fill with the cooked monkfish
| Top the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] with the mixture and sprinkle with a little fresh [[Dill|dill]]
| Pop back in the [[Oven|oven]] and [[Bake|bake]] for a further 10 to 15 minutes to [[Brown|brown]] the [[Cheese|cheese]]

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Peas|peas]] or [[Sweetcorn|sweetcorn]] and a knob of [[Butter|butter]]
===Chef's notes===
I've used [[Bake O Glide]] to rest the jackets on while they bake as it is easy to scrape up any cheese that oozes out. [[Baking foil]] works almost as well.
