Interesting jacket potato fillings

[exhaustedbeans]

We've been having a lot of jackets recently as they're pretty cheap but nice and warming. However I'm starting to get a bit bored of the tuna / cheese / beans / chilli roundabout we're currently on.

Would love some unusual but tasty ideas that don't cost the earth please!

Scoop out the soft potato. Mash in a small bowl with cream cheese and finely chopped spring onion or red onion and black pepper. Stuff it all back in the skins. Top with grated cheddar and grill.

Salmon avocado and balsamic

Yes please 😍

Anything creamy or cheesy can be perked up with a bit of nduja!

Came on to say garlic mushrooms then loads of grated cheese but pp beat me to it. Lol

I also love butter, grated cheese, corned beef slices, coleslaw and then even more cheese 👌

Hummus and grated carrot

Chilli Philli

Cottage Cheese with Pineapple

Brie, Bacon and cranberry sauce

Coleslaw

Goat's cheese with fig chutney

Sour cream and smoked mackrel

🙄 great...

Now I'm hungry for all those

🤣🤣🤣 can I come and live in your kitchen?

Don't be silly
Chips, obviously
😁😉

A bit of what?

cold chopped roast lamb mint sauce and mayonnaise
cottage cheese and pineapple
smoked cheese with red onions

I do gigantes (Greek beans) in the slow cooker. The basics are butter beans and chopped tomatoes with garlic, onion and oregano. I am a heathen and add crushed chilli and Worcester sauce though.

Cottage cheese & smoked salmon
Tinned tomatoes & bacon
Cream cheese & marmite

Houmous and sweetcorn is lovely
Good quality cottage cheese with chives
Dahl/ chickpea curry
Egg mayo and cress
Or Baked sweet potato with lots of butter fresh chilli and watercress

Seafood or prawn cocktail for me it's the best xx

Sour cream and chives - £1 a pot at the supermarket

Sour cream and chives

Garlic mushrooms

Tuna mayo and cheese (ok not that alternative!)

@Tilllly

Nduja is a rich spicy spreadable Italian sausage.

You often see blobs of it on pizza's or you can spread it on crusty/toasted bread, add to a tomato sauce to make a pasta ragu (or use it to enrich pretty much any stew/casserole) or scoop some into a jacket potato in this context and I'd be tempted to top that with a bit of wilted spinach and some ricotta.

It's really flavourful so a little goes a long way.

The fajita idea is 🤤 perfect

what about savoury mince (carrots onion gravy) or is that too similar to the chilli mince ?

cheese and coleslaw .. hmmm

These all sound amazing. I'm thinking we can do jacket potatoes two or three times a week with some of these ideas.

Haggis and neeps.

Back in the day we had a Tastie Tattie takeaway place nearby and my favourite filling was Tuna Rice Salad I make my own version sometimes. Mayonnaise, tuna ( in spring water) and red onion mixed with some cooked rice and a chopped up hard boiled egg, it makes for a real filling meal even though it’s a cold topping and makes a tin of tuna go a long way.
Otherwise left overs all the way, favourite would be vegetable curry or vegetables in a satay sauce.
