Jacket Potatoes For The Bbq Recipes

STUFFED JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Equipment you will need: medium mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, dessertspoon, fork, baking tray, grater, oven gloves.
• Get an adult to heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake the potatoes for about 1 hr until cooked and the skins are crispy. Leave to cool completely. This can be done up to 2 days ahead.
• To stuff the jacket potatoes, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Ask an adult to cut the potatoes in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving the skin unbroken (like a boat). Place the scooped potato into a mixing bowl.
• Using the fork, mash the potato until there are no lumps. Add the cheese, sweetcorn and peppers and mix well. Gently pick the leaves from the herbs. You can rip the larger leaves into smaller pieces. Stir the herbs into the cheesy potato mixture.
• Using the spoon, carefully scoop the mixture back into the potato boats. Make sure that you use all the mixture up. Sprinkle with a little extra grated cheese and place on a baking tray. Using oven gloves, place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-15 mins until golden.

CLASSIC JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the olive oil over the potatoes and put on the top shelf of the oven. Bake for 20 mins.
• Turn down the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake for 45 mins-1 hr until the skin is crisp and the flesh soft.
• Cut a cross on top of each potato, squeeze the sides, add the soured cream and your favourite toppings.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES (STUFFED JACKET POTATOES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan). Place a rack on a tray (recommended but not critical).
• Prick potatoes: Wash, scrub and dry potatoes well. Prick each potato 8 times with a fork.
• Oil and salt: Put potatoes in a bowl, pour over oil and rub onto potatoes. Then sprinkle over salt and use your hands to coat. (Just do this as best you can. Some will stick, much will not!)
• Bake: Place potatoes on rack and bake for 75 minutes or until you can pierce with a small knife with no resistance.
• Cook bacon: Place bacon in a cold non-stick pan over medium heat. When the fat starts to melt, turn the heat up to high and cook bacon until golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat butter and cream: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add cream and heat until hot, but don't let it boil. (You could also do this in a microwave)
• Lower oven: Turn oven down to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
• Scoop out potato flesh: Allow potatoes to cool enough so you can handle them (or use a tea towel). Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh, leaving 0.7cm (1/3") thick layer of potato still stuck to skin.
• Mash potato: Place potato flesh in a bowl and mash while hot until smooth.
• Add-ins: Add half the cheese (save the rest for topping), most of the bacon (save a bit for garnish), all the green onion, hot cream and butter, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Stuff and top with cheese: Fill potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbly.
• Serve: Serve immediately, garnish with sour cream, reserved bacon and chives.

JACKET POTATOES FOR THE BBQ

• Place each potato in the centre of a square of foil.

JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 400°F.
• Scrub the potatoes well then pat them dry.
• Using a sharp knife, cut an X across the top of each potato by making a ¼-inch deep incision from one end of the potato to the other lengthwise, then making a second cut across the center of the potato.
• Place the potatoes on the top rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes (or as long as 2 hours, for extra crispy skin), until the potato skins are very crispy and the insides are soft.
• Remove the potatoes and very carefully pop the potato open by cutting into the cross again to reopen it, then pushing the opposite ends of the potato toward each other (wear oven mitts to protect your hands when handling the hot potatoes).
• Return the potatoes to the oven and cook an additional 15 minutes.
• Fill with your favorite toppings.

CRISPY JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Drizzle potatoes with a thin layer of oil. Sprinkle on sea salt and about 1/2 as much lemon-pepper seasoning. Wrap each potato in a square of foil, then wrap with a second square. Place foil-wrapped potatoes in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the skins are crisp and the flesh is soft, 60 to 90 minutes.

JACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• First you need to wash the potatoes and dry them very thoroughly with a cloth, then leave them aside to dry as much as possible. If you're using ready-washed potatoes you need not do this, as the high heat will purify them. Next, prick the skins a few times with a fork, then put a few drops of olive oil over each one and rub it all over the skin. After that, rub in some crushed salt - this will draw out the moisture from the skin and, together with the oil, provide more crunchiness. Now place the potatoes straight on to the centre shelf of the oven and let them bake for 1¾-2 hours, or until the skins are really crisp. When you are ready to serve, slit each potato in half lengthways and top with the butter and seasoning. Serve immediately because, after you remove jacket potatoes from the oven, they lose their crispness very quickly, so don't let them hang around.
