Best jacket potato fillings?

[TheMindfulMum]

Jacket potatoes are in the oven crisping up nicely. What are your favourite fillings? I normally just default to a monsoon of beans and cheese 😋

Bacon, cheese and sour cream

Butter, cheese and a moat of baked beans is my usual filling but I also like tuna, spring onions and mayo mixed up and dolloped in the middle.

I occasionally scoop out the potato of both halves, mix with butter and cheese, pile back in, more cheese on top and return to oven until cheese is melted and golden brown.

All of the above delicious.

Knob of butter, salt and pepper, then a massive dollop of soured cream and some chopped chives.

That's my perfect, anyway...

Tuna mayo but with salad cream instead of mayo.
Cheese and coleslaw.
Cottage cheese ( preferably Longley Farm, or Lidl which is similar).

My favourite is hot baked beans and cold cottage cheese & chives on top (@CrimsonThunder is right about it ideally being from Longley Farm*).

Here's a text based diagram ;)

I'm having cheese and coleslaw with mine tonight 🤩

I do this.

God I’m hungry. 😂

You got me at moat.

You sound like my kind of foodie friend 😂

I agree re Vivaldi potatoes,so buttery you don't need to add any butter.

Cut in half, scoop out the filling, and mash it. Mix in some chopped bacon fried with some garlic, and some grated cheese (maybe a bit of mustard as well), scoop back into the skins and sprinkle with a bit more cheese and put under the grill.

Hear me out !

Sliced mushrooms cooked in a bit of butter with a few chilli flakes

Beans and coleslaw together or tuna and beans. I think it's the cold/hot combo of the fillings I love.

CHEESE UNDERNEATH THE BEANS ? ?

Oooh. Sophisticated. Sounds tasty.

@TheMindfulMum 💗 thank you 💗

Loving this thread.

There are so many amazing suggestions here! So glad this isn't in the 30 days only thread.

Tuna, mayo, capers or gherkins, jalapeños, olives, red onions with a touch of salt and pepper or mature cheese with baked beans.

Beans and egg mayo with onion

• Tuna Mayo and sweetcorn
• Mature cheddar and beans
• Chilli and cheese with sour cream plus guacamole
• Bolognese with cheese
• Cheese and coleslaw
• Cheese, sour cream, spring onion and bacon
• Prawn Mayo
• Smoked salmon, cream cheese and chives.

love a jacket potato!

Amen to so many of the above , but also lashings of cauliflower cheese made with a strong cheddar, broccoli and a single German Bockwurst. Food of the gods.

oh dear I have a screw loose. I roasted some chickpeas and added them to my jacket potato last night. It was like bullets in a bog. Never again.

Cottage cheese and chives.

@Quiltedandwilted88 what a simple but brilliant idea- am going to try that

Cheese and sweetcorn and plenty of butter!
