    The perfect jacket potato

    • Preparation time: 5 minutes
    • Cooking time: 65 minutes
    • Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes 60 minutes 10 minutes

    Makes: 1

    Ingredients

    • 1 extra large potato, washed (about 250g)
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp flaky sea salt 

    Method

    1 Preheat oven to 190oC, gas mark 5. Use a fork to prick the potato a few times, then coat with the oil and salt. Put on a rack (the oven shelf works well) set over a baking tray. Bake for 50 minutes.

    2. Turn the oven up to 220oC, gas mark 7, and cook for a final 15 minutes. Remove the crispy jacket potato from the oven and immediately cut open to release any steam and prevent your jacket from going soggy.
