Jacket potatoes

Jacket potatoes are a very easy option.  You can have any combination of topping that appeals to you and they tend to be very filling while remaining easy on the stomach.  Best yet, for the base as you need is a large potato, oil and salt!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place oven in a baking tray.  Pour some oil over it and sprinkle with salt. Roll the potato around so that it's completely covered in the salty oil.  Pop in oven until it is cooked all the way through.   (Depending on the size of the potato and the quality of the oven this can take 1-3 hours).  The potato will be cooked when a knife can be shoved through without resistance.  Internally the potato will be soft enough for mash.  Add a dollop or margarine for texture.

Suggested topping:

Minced chickpea and herbs.

Tuna

Bake beans

Egg mayo
