]]> Potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal and there are tons of different types of potatoes to choose from. One of our favorite ways to eat potatoes is jacket potatoes. Jacket potatoes (aka as baked potatoes) are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. When they’re done cooking, they’re served with fillings and condiments like butter, cheese, sour cream, gravy, ground beef, and baked beans. So how can you get the perfect jacket potato that’s fluffy and crispy at the same time?

It all starts with choosing the right potato and in this case, Russet or King England potatoes are ideal. Their size and flavor are great for baking. The next step is to slice a cross-shape into your potatoes, about 1/4 inch thick. This makes them fluffy inside because it allows for the steam to escape. To get a crispy outside, brush the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil. Lastly, season them generously with salt and pepper.

Some like it hot!🔥I don’t know about you, but chickpeas are one of my favorite legumes. There are so many ways you can dress these guys up, and I absolutely love them buffalo style with mashed avocado in a potato. 🥔💥🥑⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ These are worth a try! They are also awesome just over greens, in tortillas/wraps or even by themself. Enjoy! 👩‍🍳💚⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ I wanted to have left overs so I used…⁣⁠ 2 cans of chickpeas, rinsed ⁣⁠ 1/2 large sweet onion or 1 small diced⁣⁠ 3 cloves garlic minced⁣⁠ 2 carrots diced⁣⁠ 2 stalks celery diced⁣⁠ Buffalo Sauce⁣⁠ 1/2 cup buffalo sauce⁣⁠ 2 tbsp tahini⁣⁠ 2 tbsp vegetable broth⁣⁠ 1 1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast⁣⁠ 2 tsp coconut sugar (optional)⁣⁠ Whisk all sauce ingredients or add to a small blender to mix.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Dry sauté onion or in a bit of vegetable broth for 3-5 min. Add garlic for about a minute more. Then add carrot and celery (a bit more vegetable broth if pan is to dry) and cook for about 5 min. You want them tender but to still have a bit of crunch. Next add chickpeas and sauce and stir to combine and cook until heated all through.⁠ For the avocado mash, I simply mashed avocado with a bit of lime and sriracha.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁠ Follow for more⁠ @espralalife⁠ @espralalife⁠ ⁠ Tag your friends who may like this 😊😊⁠ ⁠ 📷: @thelittlecityseed

Now it’s time to put them in the oven. They need to bake at 400 F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your next step is to take them out of the oven and to slice deeper into the existing cuts. Then place the potatoes in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Do you know how to make glorious baked potatoes like these ones? 🥔 Crispy on the outside, soft & fluffy on the inside! 🥔 Crank your oven up to 200 degrees 🔥 Wash your potato and make sure it’s dry, prick it everywhere with the tip of a sharp knife and place it in the oven. I bake mine on a wire cooling rack placed ontop of a baking tray so the potato gets evenly cooked all the way round. Bake it in the oven for 25 minutes then take it out and use a pastry brush to brush the potato with butter/nuttelex all over. Also turn the potatoes so they’re the opposite way up, sprinkle with salt and place back in the oven for at least another 30minutes. Depending on the size of your potato you may need to cook it for longer. You’ll know it’s ready when you squeeze it and it gives, indicating that the insides are lovely and soft 🥔🥔 Cut it open, squeeze so the inside fluffs up and enjoy with your favourite topping . . . . #potato #potatoes #potatoesarelife #baked #bakedpotato #bakedpotatoes #jacketpotato #jacketpotatoes #dinner #snack #potatolove #ilovepotatoes #veggies #ovenbaked #bestbakedpotato #perfect #perfectpotatoes #perfectbakedpotato #eatyourveggies #vegetarian #vegan #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #yummy #yummyfood #yum #delicious #comfortfood #tasty #deliciousfood
