Quick Easy Tasty Jacket Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Drizzle potatoes with a thin layer of oil. Sprinkle on sea salt and about 1/2 as much lemon-pepper seasoning. Wrap each potato in a square of foil, then wrap with a second square. Place foil-wrapped potatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the skins are crisp and the flesh is soft, 60 to 90 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the olive oil over the potatoes and put on the top shelf of the oven. Bake for 20 mins.
• Turn down the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake for 45 mins-1 hr until the skin is crisp and the flesh soft.
• Cut a cross on top of each potato, squeeze the sides, add the soured cream and your favourite toppings.

Steps:

• Equipment you will need: medium mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, dessertspoon, fork, baking tray, grater, oven gloves.
• Get an adult to heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake the potatoes for about 1 hr until cooked and the skins are crispy. Leave to cool completely. This can be done up to 2 days ahead.
• To stuff the jacket potatoes, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Ask an adult to cut the potatoes in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving the skin unbroken (like a boat). Place the scooped potato into a mixing bowl.
• Using the fork, mash the potato until there are no lumps. Add the cheese, sweetcorn and peppers and mix well. Gently pick the leaves from the herbs. You can rip the larger leaves into smaller pieces. Stir the herbs into the cheesy potato mixture.
• Using the spoon, carefully scoop the mixture back into the potato boats. Make sure that you use all the mixture up. Sprinkle with a little extra grated cheese and place on a baking tray. Using oven gloves, place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-15 mins until golden.
