3 Mash the flesh with the butter, milk, chives and egg yolks until smooth. Stir in most of the cheese, the tuna and sweetcorn. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4 Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until they form soft peaks. Then fold them into the potato mixture using a large metal spoon.
5 Place the potato halves back onto the baking sheet and fill with the mixture. Sprinkle over remaining cheese and bake for a further 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
6 Serve 2 halves per person with a tomato salad or sliced green beans.
