    It's much faster if you microwave the spud first and then rub it with oil - you only need 20 mins in the oven then :) I love mine with cottage cheese and coleslaw

    Baked these potatoes for a bonfire party. Followed the method exactly and was told by various guests that these were the best jacket potatoes they had ever had. Delious!
