i just thought of a good topping
Cheese, beans and sliced mushrooms mmmm, and i loveeeeee coleslaw
My mum used to do jacket potato with butter with steak, fried mushrooms, coleslaw and salad it was scrummy!0 -
get ones the size of a mans fist, i prefer pebble shaped ones rather than round as cook quicker, scrub them, slice an x in the top halfway through potato. sometimes rub with olive oil and salt/herbs. i make a batch a month in the fan oven 200c for 45mins, eat the ones we want that day, then FREEZE the rest.
to reheat, just microwave -our microwave has a potato setting, not sure therefore of temp/time, although its about 4 minutes a potato OR put in the oven with whatever else im cooking that day.
ALSO skewer several new potatoes and bake for 30mins 200c (prepare as before), great as mini jackets. and freeze well-PLUS when defrost can peel off dark loose skin and treat and roast-very nice.0 -

my ultimate topping is cheese, sour cream & chive and finely chopped bacon. i discovered it in a cafe when i was in australia and now i'm addicted0 -
Personally I love cottage cheese with chives in, with some freshly ground black pepper on top. Healthy too!
This also works well with sweet potatoes.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -
I love beans and coleslaw on spuds - yummy!
saying that I also love good old beans and cheese.0 -
At least an hour, then use a fork to poke them. If they feel hard, stick them in for longer.
Heaven is baked potato, with pepper boison cheese filling.
Try it."Don't critisise what people look like, how they speak, where they are from, and what they are called. They cannot help it.
Do critisise what they say, and what they do, especially if what they say is different to what they do. They can help that"

The variety of the spud can have quite a bearing on the cooking time ..Reds seem to take longer ..
