Jacket potato fillings - ideas please?

107 replies

Bloomcounty · 11/09/2018 18:39

I love jacket potatoes for lunch - I work from home so if it's not a homemade soup, it's a spud. Normally my fillings are baked beans and cheese, or coleslaw and cheese. I'll use up suitable leftovers if there are any, no problem, but I'm looking for ideas. I'm bored of my two standard fillings on days when I've no leftovers.

What are your favourite fillings?

Tuna mayo, chilli or coronation chicken - I am pretty dull.

FurryDogMother · 11/09/2018 18:42

Sour cream, black pepper and chives.

Waitingonasmiley42 · 11/09/2018 18:44

Cheese and pineapple!

iklboo · 11/09/2018 18:46

Chicken, bacon, mushroom & sweetcorn in mayo

Garlic & herb Philadelphia

Or I scoop them out, mash with cheese, onion & peppers (maybe some chorizo if I have any in) and dollop back into the skins. I stick them under the grill for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

Cheese and sweetcorn is my favourite. Put it back in the oven or under the grill, so the cheese melts.

Bloomcounty · 11/09/2018 18:53

OMG Cheese and pineapple! That sounds amazing. They all do.

I'd eat every single one of these, thank you everyone!

Grated cheddar, walnuts and chopped apple. Blob of mayo. Lots of butter on first though of course. Yum!

I used to love cottage cheese in a jacket potato, you've just reminded me! Think I might have to have one again

troodiedoo · 11/09/2018 18:56

cottage cheese. full fat not the diet stuff.

Smoked mackerel pate in baked sweet potatoes.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 11/09/2018 18:58

Tuna mayo but with salad cream.
Cheese and onion sandwich filler.
Beans and cheese.

Loopy9 · 11/09/2018 19:05

Salsa & cheese!

Bloomcounty · 11/09/2018 19:08

Blinking heck, I'm so glad I asked! Cottage cheese is a great one. I feel really stupid not having thought of any of these. Live the cheese, apple and walnut idea too. Mum used to make that salad when we were kids, in the 70s. So many amazing suggestions!

Liquidised cottage cheese with chopped chilli, red onion and green peppers, no salt because it spoils it for some reason.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/09/2018 16:26

Baked sweet potatoes with soured cream and either mango salsa or chunky guacamole.

Baked potatoes with:
leeks in cheese sauce
blue cheese and mushrooms
Greek salad

Trytowin · 16/09/2018 16:30

Chilli or bean chilli with cheese?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/09/2018 16:32

Feta mashed with chopped red onion and finely chopped red or green chilli and a bit of olive oil.

Bloomcounty · 16/09/2018 19:06

Oh....yum! thank you!

Prawn mayo

Philadelphia cheese with those crispy bacon bits you can buy in tubs. This is particularly nice with a sweet potato

Alabasterangel6 · 16/09/2018 19:20

Curried baked beans? Usual beans with a teaspoon of curry powder and a few raisins. Sounds nasty, tastes fab.

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 16/09/2018 19:38

Wow slippyshoes that sounds amazing! I'm definitely going to try that.
I usually have veggie chilli, or plain cottage cheese. My DH loves tuna mayo spud.

happymummy12345 · 16/09/2018 19:40

I would only ever have butter, cheese and beans on mine. Nothing else.

Gardeninginsummer1 · 16/09/2018 19:41

Haggis, grated cheese and sweet chilli sauce

Chelsea26 · 16/09/2018 19:44

Cheese, onion and salad cream. The best hangover food and now occasional lunch!

Jupiter13 · 16/09/2018 19:45

Cheesy beans
