Notes
Tip
If you like a crispy skin you can rub the outside of the potato with oil before cooking.
Tip
If you want a creamier filling, add a tablespoon or two of butter to the mixture.
Variation
Turn these jacket potatoes into a delicious meal by adding leftover bolognese sauce or taco mince mixture to serve over the top. Cooked bacon pieces are also nice.
