I need sustenance before a long motorway drive
The Jacket Potato is in the oven and I am about to go to the fridge for a filling
and when I say Jacket Potato it was lovingly chosen at Tesco to be a size appropriate to feeding a family of five for a week.
Today I think I shall be having baked beans and grated cheese, having melted some butter first and drizzled it all over said potato, though I had half an eye towards Chilli.
What do you like to put in Jacket Potatoes?
Cheese, Potatoes...whatever next....

anyone would think you liked food Tighty  Today I've got mashed potatoes and haggis, and was just thinking haggis would be good as a jacket filling. Otherwise I'd go for: lots of butter with salt and pepper and nowt else; as above with grated cheese; as above with addition of chilli or baked beans. |

Both with too much butter... obv.

oh and potato definitely has to be cooked in oven - none of this microwaved rubbish. skin pricked and rubbed with olive oil or melted butter, a sprinkling of salt, and straight on the oven shelf for an hour and a half. mmmmmmm.

Agree with you for the second part, but zapp it in the micro for 10 mins first and then it only takes 20 in the oven, tastes exactly the same in a third of the time.  |

:iagree: Microwaving first is the way to do it. If I'm having something with my potato that needs putting in the oven, it just works out even more perfect

Yep, the skin has to be crispy or it's just not the same!

Cheese and tuna, no butter
Microwave first, then oven to finish off
