It’s literally just sticking a potato in the oven and waiting the correct amount of time, right? The outlet asserts the British have been quietly making perfect baked potatoes under the name “jacket potatoes” all this time. The Kitchn praised Goddard’s method as resulting in super crisp skins and ultra fluffy interiors, claiming the British version of the baked potato is far superior to more common American methods. If you want to try making your own jacket potatoes, there are a few simple tips to ensure you get it right every time. Joanna Goddard’s method calls for you to slice a cross shape into your potato before you put it in the oven, instead of pricking it with a fork as most other recipes suggest. And there’s no rubbing the ‘taters with olive oil, either. The Guardian offers up a similar recipe, and says that the perfect jacket potato, after testing multiple chef’s methods, all comes down to technique.

No matter which method you use, it’s sure to be the best baked potato you’ve ever had. It’s hard to beat the humble jacket potato, hot out of the oven with a crisp, golden exterior and a delightfully fluffy inside.

Cheap and cheerful red lentils and chickpeas form the base of this satisfying vegetarian supper. Tuna mayonnaise is a classic jacket potato filling, but can be heavy on the calories and fat content.
