About the recipe Jacket potatoes are the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure comfort food, and the flavour of our sustainable Welsh spuds makes this humble dish a proper treat. Pricking the potatoes before roasting ensures they don’t burst before they’re cooked through, and the salt helps the skins to turn crispy, while the inside stays tender.
About the Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large Root Zero Potatoes
- 2 tbsp flaky sea salt
- To serve: salted butter
- Jacket potato filling of your choice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 220℃
- Rinse the potatoes under cold water, and pat dry, then prick each a few times with the prongs of a fork. Tip the salt into a shallow bowl, then roll the (still slightly wet) potatoes in the salt. Transfer to a roasting tray.
- Cook for about an hour, after which time the potatoes should “give” when squeezed. If not, continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until they do.
- Transfer to plates and split open before dropping a slice of salted butter in each, along with your favourite filling (baked beans; cheese; tuna & sweetcorn; leftover roasted veg or meat - the list is endless!)
TOP TIP: For a more energy efficient cooking method, why not cook in the air fryer! Set your air fryer to 200℃ and cook for 40-50 minutes!
