Jacket potatoes, also known as baked potatoes, are a hearty and versatile dish with origins in British cuisine. Traditionally, they are whole potatoes baked with their skin intact, resulting in a crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Popular toppings range from butter, cheese, and beans to sour cream, tuna, or vegetable-based options, making it a customizable meal. Rich in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, the potato itself offers nutritional benefits, supporting healthy digestion and immune function. However, the healthiness of a jacket potato largely depends on the toppings—while lighter options like steamed vegetables or yogurt enhance its nutritious profile, high-fat or processed additions like excessive cheese or bacon can increase calorie and saturated fat content. A simple, balanced jacket potato can serve as a satisfying and nourishing option for any meal while celebrating its rustic roots.
