I have cracked how to produce a jacket potato with crispy skin but I still struggle to get the insides light and fluffy – too often they are soggy and heavy. Where am I going wrong?
A. Oven baking and lightly coating a baking potato skin with oil before cooking will almost always ensure lovely crispy skins although the variety of potato used will dictate how crispy the skin is. Choosing the correct variety and ensuring the potato has the correct dry matter though is vital for producing a light and fluffy inside. Although a potato make look good and be of a good size, many varieties simply will not produce good jacket potatoes no matter how long they are cooked for. To ensure that you get light and fluffy insides as a well as a crispy skin everytime choose Potato Lovers Potatoes for Baking and you wont be disappointed.
