Jacket Potatoes


This is a very versatile dish, which can be as much or as little of a meal as you want.  It can be side dish or a light main meal depending what you choose to fill it with.

Ingredients
Jacket/baking potatoes (1 each)
 
Fillings of your choice:
Appropriate Margarine
Baked beans
Mayonnaise
Tinned spaghetti
Sweetcorn
Red kidney beans in chilli sauce
Chilli con carne
Bolognaise
Preparation
You can either bake potatoes in the oven or cook them in the microwave.  I find that children often prefer microwaved ones due to the softer skin, however if mass catering it's much easier to cook them in the oven.

As a guide cook 4 potatoes in the microwave on full power for 20 - 25 minutes.

4 potatoes take approx 1 hour at 180 degrees in the oven.
 
Then heat the fillings, as per instructions and serve with plenty of salad.
