The best jacket potato recipes
You can't beat a humble jacket potato and these are our favourite recipes to make now.
A warm jacket potato, fresh from the oven with a generous slab of butter melting in the middle is our idea of heaven. It's the perfect vessel for baked beans, Welsh rarebit (as you'll see below), various cheeses and of course just simply with fresh salt and pepper.
