What you'll need
- 4 Large Baked Potatoes

Crispy Jackets in JUST 20 minutes. Like them fluff in the middle with crispy skins – we do.
Puncture the skins with a fork, then into the microwave for 10 minutes. With a sharp knife, score a cross in the top. Now, into a pre-heated Air Fryer at 190 for 10 minutes. Fluffy with a crispy jacket.
Method
- The Baked Potatoes can be done in advance, either cooked in the microwave or in the oven. Just pierce the skins and season with a little salt. For microwave cooking follow the manufacturer’s instructions as power levels do vary. To oven cook, we brush the skins as well with a little oil which gives a lovely crispy skin. Bake in a hot oven (around 180 C) for about 1 hour 20 mins until the potatoes are tender.
- Allow to cool and scoop out the potato flesh into a mixing bowl, keeping hold of the potato skins.
- Grill the bacon, allow to cool and chop into small dice.
- Add the bacon, half of the cheese, 2 tablespoons each of Stokes Sweet & Sticky BBQ Sauce & Real Mayonnaise, and the chopped chives. Mix well and season to your liking with a little salt and pepper.
- Fill the potato skins with the mix and place them on a baking tray. Sprinkle over the remainder of the cheese, and bake in a hot oven (around 200 C) for about 10 mins until golden.
- As always, enjoy!
