We are all spending much more time at home at the moment, but one of the benefits of this is having more time to prepare and enjoy a delicious lunch.

There’s something so comforting about a deliciously crispy, oven-baked jacket potato topped with melted butter. It’s nutritious and so versatile, making a simple, tasty lunch for all the family!

Here are our top tips for getting that perfect crispy skin and fluffy centre for your jacket potato:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C
2. Choose a medium to large potato and give it a wash and a scrub (our large washed baking potatoes are the best!)
3. Dry the potato and prick several times with a fork
4. In a ramekin or small dish, mix some olive oil with a large pinch of sea salt and brush the mixture all over the potato
5. Pop in the oven, directly on the middle shelf (you can put a baking tray on the shelf below if you wish)
6. Bake for approx. 1.5 hours or until golden and crispy on the outside and can be easily pierced with a fork. (Adjust the time if your potato is a bit smaller)
7. Serve straight away with lashings of butter and / or a topping of your choice

Here are some of our favourite baked potato toppings:

• Classic tuna, sweetcorn and mayonnaise
• Prawns with soured cream, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of black pepper
• Baked beans, topped with grated cheese – a real comfort food
• Spicy chilli (meat or veg) topped with a dollop greek yoghurt
• Smoked salmon and cream cheese – an indulgent treat
• Hummus and salad – a delicious dairy-free alternative
