Favourite jacket potato topping...

[Pebbledashery]

Inspired by my lunch today.
Mine is either classic cheese and beans or Tuna mayo and sweet corn.

Back in the 80's, when Spud U Like was on every High Street and the closest carry out to my work, it was double garlic butter, cottage cheese and mushrooms. Could go one now.

Domestically, cheese, coleslaw and chilli is pretty good. Still like cottage cheese and garlic butter though.

Cheese and beans on an oven baked jacket spud with butter and s&p in first snd a crispy green salad with tinned sweetcorn and raw onion slices on is the meal I would choose to live on for the rest of my life if I had to pick only one. Sainsburys cafe used to do it perfectly.

My local cafe used to do cream cheese with dates, that was most excellent. They don't do that any more but their cream cheese, beetroot and smoked bacon is good. So is the topping I made up to have in there, chicken mayo with sweetcorn and bacon.

Red Leicester and raw red onion is good! So is peanut butter with diced apple (must be granny smith). I do love a coronation chicken done well, but alas I don't do it very well myself.

I sometimes cook my baked beans with a chopped onion, chilli powder, paprika and tomato puree for a change. Or the chilli I learned in girl guides, a tin of baked beans, a tin of chopped tomatoes and a tin of red kidney beans with chilli powder.

@everydaydrudge very exotic!
I must say... I cannot stand coronation chicken!!

Oh, and creamy garlic mushrooms to a very specific recipe; chop and fry mushrooms, add garlic, tahini and maple syrup.

I will definitely be trying creamy garlic mushrooms on a jacket that sounds divine

Butter, salt and pepper.
Then add butter. And a bit more butter. And more salt.

Anything else is gilding the lily.

It's impossible for me to hear about or read about jacket potato without craving one. Hot from the oven with salty butter all mashed in .... 🤤 Or with mature cheddar, red onion and beans...

Coleslaw and cheddar,
Tuna may,
Shredded gammon and mayo and cheese.

My stomach is rumbling now.

Grated cheddar with a dollop of sour cream and chives on top

Cheese and sour cream-scooped out and all mashed together.
Cheese and that tinned ratatouille you can buy (homemade just doesn’t taste the same).
Cheese and (veg) chilli

Loads of sour cream topped with smoked salmon. It's a German dish.

Chicken and sweetcorn mayo made with pulled chicken
Close second chicken curry

@thespottedzebra keeping it nice and simple.. I like it.

@Pebbledashery I forgot salt and pepper, fresh chives and a pinch of dried mixed herbs in the garlic mushroom recipe!

In my uni days I invented the hawian, finely diced ham, chopped, tinned pineapple, chopped fresh tomato. Put all in a bowl and mix with grated cheese, then pile on top of potato with lots of black pepper.
The less adventurous option was knob of butter and teaspoon of marmite in a mug and melt in microwave, tip over potato and then add grated cheese.

Another German potato offering:

Baked potato with mushrooms (all sorts) and sour cream, with lots and lots of different raw salad leaves. They had just a little bit of quite sharp oil and vinegar dressing.
Ate this in Munich on a really cold winter evening after a long journey, and it was very good indeed.
