Description

A jacket potato is a type of baked potato that is baked in its skin, resulting in a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. The term “jacket” refers to the protective skin that forms during cooking. Jacket potatoes are typically made from high-starch potatoes like Russets or Maris Piper, and they are often served with various toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and bacon. They are a popular comfort food in the UK, often enjoyed as a meal rather than just a side dish.
