Jacket potatoes, also known as baked potatoes

 

A baked potato is a simple, versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. To make one, you just need to:

1. Preheat the oven to around 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and dry the potato well, then prick it a few times with a fork.
3. Rub the skin with olive oil and sprinkle with salt for extra flavor and a crisp skin.
4. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. It’s done when the skin is crispy and a fork can easily slide into the flesh.

You can top it with anything you like! Classic toppings include butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, chives, or bacon bits. What do you usually enjoy on your baked potatoes?
