DH thinks it has to be jacket spud, tuna, then cheese.

Where's all the melty goodness??

Just had this for dinner. Definitely cheese then tuna mayo. You need the cheese to melt and that wont happen unless you put it under the grill.

I also added some spring onion, black pepper and some hot pepper sauce.

I’ve always done it like DH but now I’m reconsidering... will complete investigations

I hate melted cheese on baked potatoes. I actually separate my cheese so that it's not even touching the potato. I love having cold grated cheese and hot jacket potato in each mouthful.

Anniegetyourgun · 19/11/2019 17:41

Obviously the cheese goes on the top and then you pop it either back into the oven or under the grill so it's melty. Or even a bit brown and bubbly. Only takes a couple of minutes - and I'm the laziest cook of all time.

Cheese and tuna together is wrong.

Glitterblue · 19/11/2019 17:44

I'm with you. You need the melty goodness so the cheese has to go first.

AdaColeman · 19/11/2019 17:45

Or for something different, but still fishy, baked potato with a couple of sardines and a drizzle of the sardine olive oil, must be olive oil though!

BreadSauceHmm · 19/11/2019 17:47

Do both. Bit of cheese first, fillings, then a sprinkle of cheese on top.

nancy75 · 19/11/2019 17:48

Tuna is the work of the devil, save the arguments and just have cheese

Celebelly · 19/11/2019 17:52

Is it a Morrison's jacket potato?

RandomWok · 19/11/2019 17:52

Cheese on first! It is the law!!! Of jacket potatoes

NoSauce · 19/11/2019 17:53

Tuna first, then cheese then coleslaw!

CherryPavlova · 19/11/2019 17:53

Tinned tuna was sent by Beelzebub so should not be put anywhere near a baked potato. Cheese over sweet corn, baked beans, coleslaw, chilli........so many perfectly reasonable toppings without resorting to cat food.

dudsville · 19/11/2019 17:54

I agree with a pp. Tuna and cheese do not go together. Also tuna and potato do not go together. So potato, then cheese, then stop with any further nonsense.

Sunflowerpower89 · 19/11/2019 17:55

Cheese first always- otherwise it doesn’t melt.

Bluntness100 · 19/11/2019 17:55

Oh cheesy tuna, that's all kinds of wrong..,Shock

Geschwister4 · 19/11/2019 17:55

What no butter? Shock

Celebelly · 19/11/2019 17:56

Tuna and cheese are meant to be together. I love a tuna melt.

Skinnychip · 19/11/2019 17:57

My DD grades the canteen staff at school on how they execute a jacket potato with beans and cheese!! (Apparently it has to be cut in a particular way - the best ones do a cross shape and squeeze it open IYSWIM)
Beans first, cheese on top (the beans should be hot enough to melt the cheese)

DontCallMeShitley · 19/11/2019 17:59

Butter
Cheese
Tuna
Cheese

Or:
Butter
Cheese
Beans
Cheese

If the cheese on top doesn't melt then a quick microwave or grill.

Teenagemaw · 19/11/2019 18:00

Cheese of course must go first and I always ask for it that way whenever i order it, i get some strange looks sometimes and occasionally a nod of agreement. My dh gets a bit embarrassed when i order it like that, says it makes me sound high maintenance 🤪

CoraPirbright · 19/11/2019 18:01

Baked potato with cheese and tuna would be my desert island dish!! But the cheese must must must go next to the potato for me - otherwise how will it melt?

titchy · 19/11/2019 18:02

You're both wrong. Tuna does not belong on a jacket potato, or in anything else tbh.

Mishfit0819 · 19/11/2019 18:04

DP and I had the same issue... Compromise is half cheese underneath, half on top Grin

inwood · 19/11/2019 18:10

Cheese on top and grill. Although never in a potato, always in a panini
