Jacket Potatoes Recipe - Easy Starter Recipes

Jacket Potatoes Recipe

Jacket Potatoes was on my tobake list since I saw it in SK's no oil cookbook. I just adapted the recipe from there but modified it according to my preference and convenience as usual and it turned out super good that it didn't last that long.There is a lot of variation in jacket potatoes - I saw some with whole potatoes baked with skin but I preferred this way.

It is a great appetizer/starter to serve for guests or for your kids, they will sure enjoy it.I loved the chilli flakes in each bite...hot and yummm!!
