Jacket Spuds

[MikeBlue]

How long do you put yours in the oven for and on what temperature?

 

[johnny on the spot]

Nuke for five mins whilst oven heats to 200 C, then bake spud for an hour.

I microwave them for 5 minutes either side...then wrap them in tin foil and put them in for about 20 minutes on 180. If you want them crispier, dont put foil round them!

I think you have just decided on my tea :)

What temp?

I usually put them in microwave first for about 8 mins then in the oven to crisp up but the Mrs wont be in till 8 tonight so thought I would go the whole hog in the oven for once.

Prick skin with fork,rub some olive oil all over then rub in crushed sea salt put in oven uncovered for 1 1/2 hours gas 5/190c. Turn after 45 mins. Crispy outside fluffy inside enjoy.

Never heard of doing them that way before....

Depends on the size of the potato. Large spuds just over an hour, medium sized for 50 minutes. Put into a hot oven 180c. Sprinkling them with quite a bit of sea salt will aid in a crispier skin.

Foil on potatoes for an open fire or BBQ only, Stops the skin charring.

I've had them done like that and they were delicious. Only difference was the skin was cut in a diamond pattern.
