Jacket Potato with Cheese Recipe

British · Main course · 85 min total

A classic British comfort food: a fluffy baked potato with crispy skin, loaded with melted cheddar cheese and a pat of butter.

Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes (about 300g each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 100g mature cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Optional: 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Scrub the potatoes clean and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
2. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 60-75 minutes, until the skin is crisp and a knife pierces easily.
3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut a cross in the top of each potato, then squeeze the sides to open it up.
4. Fluff the inside with a fork, then add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato. Season with pepper.
5. Top generously with grated cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve immediately, with optional sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side.

Tips

• For extra crispy skin, bake directly on the oven rack without foil.
• Leftover potatoes can be reheated in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
