Hello. I'm British. Where I grew up, a baked potato and a jacket potato are exactly the same thing. How crispy it is depends on how you cook it. In tinfoil on a fire or in an oven without being wrapped, it’ll be crispy. In a microwave or how you describe, it'll be soft. I would naturally call both of these, including the crispy version, a baked potato - it’s a potato you bake in the oven. I don't know anyone who's ever given it more thought than that 😄
My mom scrubbed the potatoes, dried them off, rubbed them with oil or butter, and baked them whole in a cast iron o skillet for about an hour and they were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside… they were russet potatoes and the skins were so crispy and delicious!!! Good memories🙋♀️♥️
@@D415h4n34my husband puts a few on the smoker when he’s smoking meat. If you ever have the chance to do that they are the best I’ve ever had. I do like them better wrapped in foil but he likes them unwrapped so they get a lot more smoke flavor.
Speaking of good potatoes- I tried Hasselback potatoes for the first time a couple nights ago and oh man they were so good. I highly recommend. I had never even made them before and they turned out perfect. 10 out of 10 as the kids say nowadays😜✌️
@@firstnamekaty8830 Yes!!! Hasselback potatoes are amazing! So glad you found out about them❤ My favorite potato of the moment is what we now call “Kiersten Potatoes“ after one of my daughters, Kiersten. She was the one who told us about them. Basically you just melt a stick of butter and mix in several minced garlic gloves, salt and pepper, paprika and whatever else you want. I personally love Old Bay with potatoes. Then halve the potatoes longways and put them cut side down in a casserole dish and pour all the butter on them. (Move them around so the butter gets under them) Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 425°. I eat mine with sour cream. They are amazing!!!!
i'm English and i'm pretty sure a jacket potato and a baked potato are the same thing, we just have different toppings like baked beans, cheese or tuna mayo
My family is from England (not me, New Zealand born and raised) and i was always taught to put them in the oven whole and bake them, then put a cut into them and put whatever toppings i wanted in them.
The way I was taught was to put them in the microwave for 10 mins (for a LARGE) baked tattie, and then put in the oven for around an hour or so, until the outside is crispy and you can squeeze it easily with an oven glove. Then you cut them in half and sort of “pinch” each side, so a lot of the fluffy inside comes out. Then you load it with butter,salt and pepper and then mash that into the ENTIRE interior with a knife. You then add a little of your cheese and Branston and mix that through and then add your toppings. The skin and inside is always amazing.
I make my baked potatoes in my air fryer now. I oil and salt them like usual, a few pokes of a fork for steam release and in they go. They come out so perfectly crisp outside, fluffy inside and oh so yummy
From Missouri USA and we always clean and dry russets or Yukon gold's, oil up the outside, put a couple of knife or fork sticks in to let steM out and bake! Love the crispy outside!!!
My Mother would boil potatoes with the skin on and when done we would each remove the skin and mash with butter salt and pepper and we called them “potatoes boiled with their jackets on”. My Sister and I loved it growing up! Then fast forward and I’m in London they served “Jacketed potatoes” loved them and made me sentimental because I never heard potato skins referred to “jackets” anywhere else!! Different method of course, but still made me think of home!!❤
I have something you might want to try. First you roast some heads of garlic till done then you make some good buttered toast. Then you smoosh the roasted garlic on the toast and drizzle with some good honey, then enjoy!! It's really good!!
We always called it a baked potato. My mom always washed the potato, poked it with a knife and baked it. They do get crispy and when I was young she would cut mine in half, scoop out the potato and mash with butter and salt and then butter and salt the ‘shell’ which I loved.
My mother and grandmother used russet potatoes for everything. When baked they were washed, stuck a few times with a sharp knife and baked. When done they were sliced lengthwise and served with margarine. Very crispy and delicious.
When I've made potatoes this way, I've never had luck with them staying together when slicing, so I cheat and sit them down in a small souffle dish before adding the filling. Little 4 inch souffle dishes used to be given away at grocery stores back in the 80s and 90s when you filled up a card with stamps, so I have an interesting collection along with a couple of really nice small pots.
Years ago there was a pub style eatery in our area that served baked potatoes as a meal. They always served honey and bacon with their potatoes and I have eaten them with a little honey since. Not a lot, just a drizzle. Oh my, they are good.
America's Test Kitchen has you dunk your potatoes in a salt brine, let them dry, and then bake them unwrapped and without oil. When they're nearly done you pull them, brush them with fat, and bake for another 10 minutes. Outstanding results.
Jacket spuds with cheese and coleslaw and some minced beef. Yum yum. Bit of butter too. Bake in oven for crispy skin. Great cheap meal over here. (I'm UK !)
That's how. I was taught to make them. Jacket potatoes crisy skin is so good. My grandparents came from England. I believe alot of Europeans made Jacket potatoes friends in Germany make them that way.
Emmy and crew, when I open a baked spud, I only cut around half way down and squeeze the bottom and they tend to flower open, takes a bit of practice but when successful they don't fall apart...thanks Emmy for the great content. Jim Mexico
I've seen that, initially the thought of it was off putting but I've often had summer meals with tuna salad and potato salad or I eat potato chips with my tuna salad sandwich so it probably would taste good. The beans on jacketed potatoes, that sounds good too.
That looks so good! One meal that my mother would make that was cheap and easy is as follows: Peel and quarter potatoes. Boil until fork tender. Make a flour rue and add to your water and potatoes. Salt and pepper to your liking. A bit of butter is optional. Add some canned sweet peas. Then Bring back to a boil to thicken. Then serve with whatever bread you happen to have on hand. Just thought of this as you are on the hard times/meals for pennies theme. It's super cheap and super easy. As long as you are careful not to scorch it, then it will turn out just fine. Thanks Emmy! Since I am throwing out easy things to make, try this one. Take marshmallows(regular sized or jumbo ones). Put them on a toothpick and dip them in water. Take a powdered jello flavor of your choosing and dip the damp marshmallow in the jello powder. Place on wax paper and put in the refrigerator to dry turning it a few times to make sure all sides are dry. Then eat them. As kids we loved those. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!
I scrub russet potatoes, rub them with a little oil and salt, then put in a crockpot on low for 8 hrs or on high for 4 hrs. Done! No heating up the kitchen from the oven during the hot summer.
Russet potatoes are best for baking. Do your method, wash, massage some oil into the skins, good dose of salt. The skin will bake up crisp and crunchy and the interior will be light and fluffy. Yukon gold are good potatoes but lack the fluff of a good baking potato.
Growing up Mom scrubbed russet potatoes, baked on the oven rack until soft on the inside and the skin was crispy. I like to cut in half, scoop out the inside and 😊put butter, salt & pepper on the inside of the crispy skin and eat it separately. It is the best!
...Very much love your wonderful videos dear Emmy 😊 Thank you so very much! ❤!PLEASE continue! You seem to absolutely be an honest, down-to-earth, real, wonderful person.😊 Thank you Emmy
I always rub my potatoes with oil and then sprinkle them on all sides with both salt and pepper before I bake them. I also bake them directly on the rack, as cooking them on a pan tends to cause the bottom of the potato to get hard. The only times I cook a baked potato in foil is when I'm camping. I didn't realize that the use of foil for baking potatoes was so common. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It looks delicious. :)
Hi Emmy! Been watching you for years, love your ideas! It's like a pretty potato lotus flower!🪷 I love laughing cow cheese wedges, never tried that variety, but it looks amazing!
Yes I love a chili cheese potato, brocolli cheese potatoes are great too. In the 1970s there were little carryout places in malls in the US called One Potato Two that served a big baked potato and your choice of topping. I loved getting their potatoes, such a yummy lunch.
The best jacket potato I ever had was dry roasted, no oil. Filled with garlic/herb butter, sour cream, cheddar and a really good "sunshine salad" ...a delicious colourful salad made with red cabbage, celery, capsicum, onion, roasted sunflower seeds and grated carrot. Dressed lightly with extra virgin olive oil, cider vinegar, sugar and salt.
This reminds me of the bun u made a couple of years ago dunked in a garlic sauce. I made those and were INCREDIBLE! I'll make this too! And as I'm writing this you are mentioning it in the video hahaha
I try not to click on your video at night before I go to sleep 😴 because I end up watching another 2 hours of your video & not to mention HUNGRY and can’t Sleep 😡🤦♂️🤷♂️😂🤣😂LoveFromHawaii❤️
Being from Idaho, it's a bit of a cliche I suppose but I love potatoes, any variety and cooked almost anyway. I've never met a potato I didn't like. This looks so delicious. Have you ever done smashed potatoes? No, not mashed. You bake the potatoes, when they are done you take a masher, the kind that looks like a tic tac toe board and smash each potato until they are between a half inch to three quarters thick. Add a little salt and pepper (you can also add a little olive oil). Then bake again until a bit crispy. Delicious! So many absolutely amazing ways to cook potatoes.
Baked and Jacket are used interchangeably for the same thing in my experience, there's no difference in the way the potato is cooked. I wouldn't put oil or salt on the surface before cooking tho, just slash around the circumference to allow for a bit of movement and put it straight in the oven. (Or start them in the microwave and then transfer to the oven to crisp the skin up.)
I can always tell when it's EXTRA good and today is one of those days. We can see your heart sing! Pair that with some beef chili or some other protein and you have a complete meal.
@@Margar02 it was incredibly good. I used cream cheese with a little cheddar grated in as it’s the only cheese I had on hand in lieu of the cheese triangle. The grated garlic into the butter worked so well. I will definitely be adding these into my weekend meal rotation. My husband doesn’t usually eat potato skins but left a clean plate, even after having second helpings! A win for sure!!
Oh man! Now I gotta make some. I got to go buy that cheese. I haven't had it for a long time either. I like the garlic and herb one! Don't know about the honey though. Will have to try it. Bet it would be delicious with yams too.
I am British, jacked potato/ baked potato is the same. I never faff around with salt or oil. Don’t have to put a cross. Sometimes I score around, so when cooked it splits into 2 halves. Sometimes I prick with a fork. I recommend skewering them with a metal skewer….they cook quicker. No foil or baking sheets needed.
This looked delicious. Trinidadian Potato in Jackets, as they are called, are also really delicious. You should try it. It's cheesy and has a crispy skin. Awesome stuff.
I'm British and I would say baked and jacket potatoes are one of the same. I've never heard of a cross being cut into the potato before cooking but certainly afterwards when cooked. I just prick them all over,rub with oil and find sea salt and bake for approximately 80 minutes. Topping options are endless xxx
This is so convenient lol. My children have decided baked potatoes are their new obsession and we’re making them for dinner tonight. Now instead we’re doing “jacket potatoes” 😂 🎉
Jacket potato is the same, just different ways of cooking it. We stab a few slits in the potato rub in oil and salt and on baking tray in oven for about an hour then you cut an x in the top or in half and then add whatever you want 😉 ❤
Honey on potatoes reminds me of the wedges that KFC used to have, and the sides of honey, I would always get honey on the fries when using it with the chicken and it was so good.
It doesn’t get crispy skin, but my mum cooks “baked” potatoes in the microwave- literally just stab the potato a few times with a fork put it in the microwave and cook for about t4-6 minutes, depending on the size of potato. Then just cut open and add whatever toppings you want.🤷♀️👍🏻🥰
We have laughing cow cheese in Australia too, and I loved it as a kid (I’m 27 now) though ours is quite a mild cheese, maybe just a little bit stronger than regular cream cheese
In New Zealand, baked and jacket potatoes are synonymous though I thought jacket potato was an American term rather than UK. It’s personal preference as to whether they are baked with or without foil. My preference is straight in the oven without foil, having been pricked with a fork a couple of times to stop them exploding.
I have not made these before, but it seems like it would be a good idea to cool the potatoes a bit first before slicing/splitting them open. Cooling would allow the potato starch to settle and stick to itself. When it’s so hot like that it’s just too “wet” still with all that steam. I’m sure the end product is just as delicious either way, but presentation might be easier with a cooler tater. :)
Those looked delicious!! I remember you had that ‘dinosaur egg’ salt a little while ago- do you still use that? I feel like that would make a great finishing salt!! Gotta give this a try!
A jacket potato and baked potato means exactly the same. Im English, we just have lots of different fillings, cheese and bakes beans is a classic. Chilli, tuna mayo, chicken curry. Plenty of butter in the potato and have to mix the inside so it is mashed
British floury potatoes are often a bit yellow on the outside. Floury ones are usual for baked potatoes like in the US. Baked potatoes and jacket potatoes are exactly the same thing to me. Not sure about the oil on the skin, in my experience it actually makes the skin softer
Hello. I'm British. Where I grew up, a baked potato and a jacket potato are exactly the same thing. How crispy it is depends on how you cook it.

They turn out this way in an air fryer. It only takes about 40 minutes and they’re so crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy inside.❤🥔
I have both, thanks for the ideas💖🙌🏿

@@shestewa6581Same, I was taught (for a medium potato) to nuke on full blast for 8 minutes, bake for 40-50 minutes.
Always at the right time when I'm in bed getting ready to go to sleep early, love watching these ❤ Comfort videos
Except now I'm starving
Exactly 😂 So true
Emmy has been one of my comfort TH-camrs for about 8 years.
Omg these look amazing now we want these for dinner ... Anyone else???
Same, they look so simple and delicious!
I have a woodstove for heat and I love these for winter meals. I wrap the potatoes in foil and pop them into the fire
I make my baked potatoes in my air fryer now. I oil and salt them like usual, a few pokes of a fork for steam release and in they go. They come out so perfectly crisp outside, fluffy inside and oh so yummy
I especially like doing baby potatoes in the air fryer.
Yay, a classic style topic for Emmy! I was missing the hard times or cheap eats series (and fruity fruits, of course).
From Missouri USA and we always clean and dry russets or Yukon gold's, oil up the outside, put a couple of knife or fork sticks in to let steM out and bake! Love the crispy outside!!!
My preferred filling is with Boursin, the Garlic and herbs one. It truly is amazing and no other can beat it.

Brush them with oil or Bacon Fat, or Duck Fat, or Goose Fat.
Whenever Emmy makes a dish, you could photograph it and put it in a magazine.
I just love how Emmy's personality comes out as she cooks. Her enjoyment of the process and how excited she gets keeps me watching her videos.

As a brit, I always assumed that baked or jacket were same/same, now nuked potatoes, no, just no, that's rolled up newspaper bop on the nose no... :P
Looks Phenomenally Delicious
Jacket potatoes can also be microwaved.A lot of people mirowave them until around 80% cooked and then oven cook to make the skins crispy
Sounds great! And i love your tshirt!
I've never baked a potato in foil unless it was over a campfire. Crispy skin is awesome!

I am.70 years old snd the only time we put foil around our potatoes to cook is when they are put on the coals for a cookout.
OOOOH, garlic cheese potatoes sound amazing.
Ouuu this looks amazing!
Baked potatoes are so good. Love a potato bar party. Just havd lots of good butter on hand, like Kerrygold
one of my favorite evening snacks. a little salt, butter sour cream. possibly some finely chopped red onion.
Yum, looks great! I will use Boursin cheese to re-create this❤
Jacket potato is the same, just different ways of cooking it. We stab a few slits in the potato rub in oil and salt and on baking tray in oven for about an hour then you cut an x in the top or in half and then add whatever you want 😉 ❤

These are the days! Amén! They look so good!
Britt here, they are the same thing. I part cook them in the micro then finnish in the air fryer myself.
I love poppy cooks she is all things potatoes
I have not made these before, but it seems like it would be a good idea to cool the potatoes a bit first before slicing/splitting them open. Cooling would allow the potato starch to settle and stick to itself. When it’s so hot like that it’s just too “wet” still with all that steam. I’m sure the end product is just as delicious either way, but presentation might be easier with a cooler tater. :)
I've seen Poppy on Sorted Food a few times and she is a real hoot!
Those looked delicious!! I remember you had that ‘dinosaur egg’ salt a little while ago- do you still use that? I feel like that would make a great finishing salt!!
Gotta give this a try!
A jacket potato and baked potato means exactly the same. Im English, we just have lots of different fillings, cheese and bakes beans is a classic. Chilli, tuna mayo, chicken curry. Plenty of butter in the potato and have to mix the inside so it is mashed
British floury potatoes are often a bit yellow on the outside. Floury ones are usual for baked potatoes like in the US. Baked potatoes and jacket potatoes are exactly the same thing to me.
Not sure about the oil on the skin, in my experience it actually makes the skin softer
This is like the Korean garlic bread version of a baked potato!
