Perfect jacket potatoes

No peeling, no fuss.

What you need

4 baking potatoes

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  2. Wash, dry and prick the potatoes over with a fork. Alternately thread the potatoes onto a potato baking spike.

  3. Either place the potatoes on a baking tray or directly onto the shelves in the oven. Bake for 1 hour - 1 hour 30 min, depending on their size, until tender right through. The best way to tell this is to lightly press the sides of the cooked potato and if the potato is soft to press, it is cooked.

  4. Cut a cross in the top of the potato or cut each in half. Top with your chosen filling.
