What is the ultimate Jacket Potato filling?

[BabyNameBook]

My pregnancy craving is jacket potatoes! I can't stop

My absolute favourite is butter, tuna and cheese.
Sometimes I add beans to this too, hot or cold ones. Or just beans and cheese, or cheese and red onion.
Then there's beans and cheese..
Veggie chilli and sour cream..

The potato has to be slightly mashed with a fork in the middle and then covered in butter before any toppings are added.

Also, I went to a cafe today who didn't pre butter and gave me butter in a little pot - how on earth do you add butter to an already filled potato!?

Mmmmmmm AIBU to ask what the ultimate jacket potato is?

🥔

I love cheese and Heinz beans on a jacket potato with lots of butter mashed into the potato before topping, but what makes amazing for me is a massive dollop( or more!) of Hellman's Mayo, it completely changes a cheese and beans jacket!

John west do a little tin of tin with chilli dressing
That with mayo ( and a shit load of butter) is my favourite
Can’t go wrong with just grated cheese though

A thick sauce made from soft cheese, garlic and chunky mushrooms

Also if there's cheese involved it should go on the bottom and the top for example, butter then cheese then beans then more cheese..
Absolutely.
Wow - I want a jacket potato now!

Cheese and chopped onion
Or cheese and chilli 😍😍

Cheese and beans for me (with a side of brown sauce !).

Also if there's cheese involved it should go on the bottom and the top for example, butter then cheese then beans then more cheese..

This is the law surely!??

Cottage cheese and chives really cold from the fridge plus butter on a very hot potato. Fabulous.

Cheese and coleslaw
Tuna and cheese
Cheese and onion
Cheese and beans

I love my jacket potatoes with butter, cheese and coleslaw, but the spud has to be hot. There is a special place in hell for cafés that have the nerve to send out tepid jacket potatoes with very cold cheese in them.

Cheese, beans and coleslaw. It's amazing. Saw me right in the early weeks of pregnancy!

Lashings of really good salted butter.

And don't forget to keep a dollop back to sandwich in the skins when you've eaten the insides.

Cheese, mostly. Or double baked with cheese and bacon, option sour cream as a dip. I’ve never fancied cold, non-meltable toppings (tuna, coronation chicken) on a potato, and anything hot I’d rather either on the side WITH a potato, or with their logical accompaniments instead (curry with rice etc). Only possible exception would be baked beans, but I’m allergic to the fuckers.

Butter, tuna, sweetcorn, lashings of melted cheese. Can't beat it.

Chilli and cheese
Tuna and cheese
Coleslaw and cheese
Cheese
or my favourite, double baked filled with fried onion and bacon, a heap of butter, black pepper and of course cheese.
I like cheese.

Cottage cheese with pineapple or coronation chicken.

Have to have grated carrots and cucumber as a side salad as well.

butter, mature cheddar (tickler) beans (has to be Branston) then more cheese..

butter, mature cheddar (tickler), coleslaw, then more cheese..

butter, mature cheddar (tickler), crispy bacon

butter, mature cheddar (tickler), chilli, more cheese

butter, mature cheddar (tickler), bolognese, more cheese..

and i wonder how i have put on a stone since bringing in my halogen oven to work and having JP's 3/4 times a week...

Grated cheddar and coleslaw

I'm not a big JP fan but I'd eat that!

Am vegan, and I love what I call a dirty spud which is Vitalite, too much salt, hoummous AND beans. It is absolutely f*ing filthy and I love it.

Tuna and cheese (cheese on first) with butter and loads of salt and pepper

Oh my... I am RAVENOUS reading all these!

I'm going to sling you a curveball – while the usual beans and cheese / tuna and cheese etc. is a classic and therefore unbeatable, I do also LOVE:

Hot jacket potato
Lashings of cheese mashed in
Topped with cottage cheese, black pepper and then a dollop of pesto.

Sounds mental but it is HEAVENLY, I tell you. HEAVENLY.

And the coleslaw has to be homemade with red cabbage.

I like potatoes in their many incarnations but this is just fucking depressing, isn't it? What is your favourite jacket potato? Some of us aspire to more than a baked spud.

But in the spirit of the thread I'd say the potato should be salted and slicked with butter before being wrapped in foil and baked for about 90 minutes. Then, when it is done, it should be slit four ways with butter dunked into its heart while mashing it down. And then sliced ham, lots of ham, topped with grated cheese, and some finely chopped spring onion, lots of grated cheese and then more ham with a lot more cheese. Then It should be baked for about 10 mins at 200C

That is my recipe. You can serve it with salad as an option.

Also leftover chicken and sweetcorn in a white sauce with onion and herbs and garlic.
