Jacket potato, cheese, then tuna

[winterplease]

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

Is it a Morrison's jacket potato?

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

Tuna first, then cheese then coleslaw!

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.

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.

Cheese first always- otherwise it doesn’t melt.

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

What no butter?

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

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)

Butter
Cheese
Tuna
Cheese

Or:
Butter
Cheese
Beans
Cheese

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

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 🤪

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?

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

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

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