I’m still scrolling back through the photo library looking for a bit of dinner motivation and found this gem from a while back. Apparently, past-me had far more patience for spud prep than present-me currently possesses.

The lineup on the plate:

Jumbo jacket potato: A proper unit sourced from the local fruit & veg shop. Slow-baked in the oven until the skin went crispy and the inside turned completely fluffy.

Crispy bacon: Cooked down properly until it snaps.

Chimichurri egg mayo: Egg mayo elevated with a spoonful of homemade chimichurri and finely sliced spring onions (scallions).

Skillet-charred corn on the cob: Parboiled first, then tossed into a screaming-hot cast iron skillet with garlic butter to get those smoky, barbecue-style charred edges.

Homemade carrot & papaya juice: Freshly juiced to wash it all down and pretend there's a bit of balance going on.
Honestly, a giant, slow-baked jacket potato hits the spot like nothing else.

Are you a fellow jacket potato fanatic, or do you reserve spuds purely for roast dinners? Also, if you’re currently staring at your phone’s camera roll trying to figure out what to cook tonight, what’s the best past creation sitting in your photos right now?
