Jacket Potato

Last updated on January 21, 2009

My attempt at a jacket potato. It was baked for 1.5 hours, the topped with shredded cheddar and mushrooms and garlic and black pepper that were fried in butter and olive oil.

Danielle and I had some excellent jacket potatos at a pub we visited with Dominic on the same day we took a tour of Fuller’s Griffin Brewery. Wanting the same sort of thing for dinner tonight, I put together this, from a baked (Idaho) potato and shredded cheddar cheese, topped with mushrooms, garlic, and black pepper that were fried in copious amounts of butter and olive oil. The oil was poured over everything to lubricate the potato a bit more and give it that unhealthy pub food feeling.

To keep the experience as pub-like as possible I’m eating it (as I type this) with a glass of lager. Rochester Mills’ Lazy Daze Lager, to be precise.

The verdict? Outstanding. Absolutely excellent.
