Suggestions / Recipe Tips

Dress up sweet potatoes with endless topping ideas.

Goat cheese can be replaced with any cheese you like. Feta, Boursin, or cream cheese are great alternatives.

Pistachios are so delicious. Any nut will work. If you need a nut-free version, try adding pumpkin seeds or dried cranberries.

Hot honey is a wonderful ingredient. Regular honey will work, and so will maple syrup and even balsamic glaze.

Serve warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, in a container or wrapped in foil. Reheat in the oven. Be sure to open the foil to crisp up the skins.

What Is A Jacket Potato?

Honestly, it is a fancy name for a baked potato in the UK. Baked until the jackets (or skins) are crispy and the insides are tender. Never cook them in the microwave!

They should not be wrapped in foil, or you will end up with soggy skins. You do not need to oil them either, but this is a personal preference.

Enjoy them with butter, salt, and pepper, or endless tasty topping ideas.
