Jacket potato toppings?

Jacket potatoes are a staple in our household, wonderfully warm and filling in winter, yet light and refreshing with a crisp salad come summer. What do you have on yours? Classic butter and cheese, or something a bit more adventurous?

Tonight I’m tucking into mine with vegetable chilli, a side salad… and, of course, copious amounts of butter!

    In summer with a cheese salad but in winter with baked beans and cheese. I’m strange though - no butter!

    Cheese only or sometimes tuna and mayonnaise, always butter too!

    Where do you buy light & refreshing potatoes? šŸ˜€

    I like to buy the ready made ones (but still need to be cooked) from Tesco. They have fluffy mashed potato on top with some cheese. I'll usually have some baked beans and cocktail sausages with one.

    Haha, good point! But there's something about having them in summer, they feel like a lighter meal 😁

    I never have a jacket potato. Thinking about it, I'd have butter for sure and maybe smoked salmon or scrambled egg.

    That's a really good idea I wouldn't mind trying that myself.

    I haven't had Smash in years! Do you have anything on it?

    Loads of proper butter with a bit of salt and the skin has to be crispy!

    Filling is beans/cheese or both,and I do like tuna mayo also.

    I make up some Smash to bulk up my Wiltshire Farm Foods meal. That or a packet of veg that can be done in the microwave.
