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?

hannah1992 · 27/09/2018 13:08

Left over Bolognese always works in this house. There are always left overs when I make it so I always our it over a jacket.

Chilli also the same

RosiePosies · 27/09/2018 13:26

I'm pregnant and can only eat beige things so for me today it's a plain jacket with butter. Going up to OH's mums this weekend and dreading lunch - as there are so many of us it's always jacket potatoes but she refused to buy anything other than clover

Alltheprettyseahorses · 27/09/2018 14:47

Hummus. Or Longley cottage cheese with loads of sweet chilli sauce. Or M&S broccoli cheese. All accompanied by loads of orange peppers and cucumber, and sweet potato is as good as normal.

GretchenFranklin · 27/09/2018 15:26

Garlic butter, black pepper, Stilton cheese. Incredible.

chewbacca83 · 27/09/2018 15:42

Houmous....sometimes with baked beans. Sounds random but it's lush!

Member745520 · 27/09/2018 15:47

I'd already planned to have jacket potato and earlier in the day removed some home made bacon and liver pate from the fridge to use as topping. Have also been eyeing up online the containers of five different sandwich fillers from Iceland for future use. I loved the coronation chicken, the cheese and onion, and the egg mayo as toppings for jackets but haven't tried the others yet. Each container costs £1 and would do at least two meals. It must be the season for thinking of autumn jackets Grin

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 27/09/2018 15:52

Veggie here so here goes:

Grated cheese and brocolli (yum)
Left over spag bol/chilli
Garlic and herb Philly or roulade
Cottage cheese with chives

Or

Scoop out mash with cheese and creme fresh pop back in skins add cheese on top and grill until crispy.

Seafoodeatit · 27/09/2018 15:59

Just beans and cheese for me!

ApplesinmyPocket · 27/09/2018 16:15

Loads of oozy butter, and chopped crisp streaky bacon is my all-time fav and can tempt me to eat even if I'm not well Smile
