jacket potatoes

Oven-roasted whole tubers

Jacket potatoes are potatoes baked whole in their skins until the interior is soft and fluffy.

The term is primarily British; Americans say baked potatoes.

The "jacket" is the skin, which crisps during baking.

They're typically split open and served with butter, cheese, beans, or other toppings: I'll have a jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn.
