Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat dry with kitchen paper. Prick in a few places with a fork.
2. Pour a little olive oil into the palm of your hand and add a pinch of salt. Pop a potato in your hand, on top of the oil and salt, then rub it all over the potato. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
3. Place the potatoes in the oven, directly on the oven shelf. Turn the oven down to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas 5. Bake for 45 mins-1 hr till the potatoes have crisp skins and a skewer can be inserted easily. Transfer to serving plates, slice open and serve with your choice of toppings.
4. Eat & reheat
Cooked jacket potatoes will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them by wrapping them in foil and baking at 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4 or reheat in an air fryer set to 180°C for 8-10 mins.
