Sorry Jay-Jay, what I meant was I searched BEFORE you posted your link and couldn't find anything (obviously me not searching correctly)....both your links were useful :T

No I know..... I was just offering you a thread of fillings for your lunch once you had found out how to cook them

Good morning all

This is clearly a thread that can be merged with the one pointed to earlier by Jay-Jay, thank you Jay-Jay and so I'll do that shortly.

If you haven't already been to read the link you'll need to read this thread from the beginning again to catch up

I put mine in the microwave for 10 mins to start them off, then finish in the oven for 30mins to crisp them up

I always like mine ovened, about 1hr 15mins at about 180 - 200, I try and meal plan so when we have them the ovens also on cooking something else like quiche or baking. HTH

I like them baked in the oven for a couple of hours on a low - ish heat, don;t find I need salt or anything to get the skins really crispy.

I prefer them oven baked but we have a combi microwave which can do a jacket potato in around 12 mins, crispy skins and all:T It uses a combination of grill and microwave.

I've heard that if you wrap the potato in foil it cooks quicker in the oven, I havn't tried it yet though

For the ultimate baked tattie you need to wrap it in foil then shove it in the embers of a hot open fire. The smell, taste and texture are unbeatable - just delicious with butter mmmmmmmmmm!

oh yes, the open fire! When I was little we used to have a coal fire and put them in the ash pan all morning - delish! Its only now I realise what an OS upbringing I had!
