Jacket potato with beans Recipe

British · Main course · 85 min total

A classic British comfort food: fluffy baked potatoes topped with rich, savory baked beans. This recipe delivers perfectly crispy skins and a hearty, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes (about 300g each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 can (400g) baked beans in tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp butter (optional)
• 2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 60-75 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the inside is soft when pierced with a knife.
5. While the potatoes bake, heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the potatoes are done, cut a cross on top of each and squeeze open. Fluff the flesh with a fork and add a knob of butter if desired.
7. Spoon the hot beans over the potatoes and top with grated cheese if using. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crispy skin, rub the potatoes with oil and salt just before baking.
• To save time, microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes before baking to reduce oven time.
• Leftover beans can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
