I then put in a bowl grated cheese and chopped cooked smoked back bacon, scoop out the middles and mash it all together and then put it back in the jackets. Really yummy and so simple.
My daughters a veggie so I do the same for her just use her Quorn bacon instead.

I'm really fancying jacket potatoes for my tea tonight but must admit I've never cooked jacket spuds before. Is there any set technique? How long should I cook them for and at what temp for a fan assisted electric oven?
And what's your favourite filling whilst we're thinking about it? I'm having tuna Mayo and chives in mine tonight.
Seems to work for me...

Microwaves are cheating but the insides go soooooo soft and scrummy (yummmmmm)

I pricked with a fork, coated in olive oil, sprinkled with grinded sea salt and cooked for an hour a half at 180 and they were perfect.
Then had it filled with tuna mayo and cheese!
Delicious!
