Hello and welcome to my Cheat’s Crispy Jacket Potatoes recipe! As with my other recipes in my cheats series it’s more of a technique than an actual recipe… If you haven’t seen my Cheat’s Sausage Rolls, Pizza Pie or Coronation Chicken, go and check them out too!
So, on with the recipe!
The Trick
I love a roast potato that’s been properly cooked in the oven, but this usually takes over an hour and let’s face it- who has the time?
The trick to Cheat’s Crispy Jacket Potatoes is that you cook them in the microwave which cuts out so much time! Then with a quick blitz in the oven with some frylight (or other oil) and some salt they come out super crispy!
Cheat’s Crispy Jacket Potatoes
- As many potatoes as you want to cook- I usually do one per person
- Frylight - I use sunflower oil
- Pinch of salt
- Heat your oven to 220 / 200 fan
- Stab your potatoes a bit with a knife
- Put them in the microwave on high for about 15 mins for 2, you will need to add a bit more time if you put more in at once...
- Test that the pots are cooked by seeing if a knife will go through them easily
- Once cooked put on to a prepared baking tray and spray with frylight and sprinkle with salt
- Cook for 10 -15 mins until crispy!
- And serve!
Serve with
Whatever you like! I went for olive oil spread (love butter but I am dairy free!) and some tuna mayo!! Super tasty!!
