question

Can you reheat a jacket potato from the fridge ?

GoodFoodTeam_

Hello, if the jacket potato hasn't been filled you can reheat it wrapped in foil for about 20 mins at 180C/160C/gas 4 until hot through. Thanks for your question - Best wishes, Good Food Team

Hi, we put our jacket potatoes directly on the oven shelf, but you can use a baking tray if you prefer. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Jacket potatoes came out very hard. Give more time for big potatoes

SausageMeister

We use metal skewers and stick them through the centre of the potato. The metal conducts the heat and cooks the jacket from inside to out!
