Jacket Potatoes

During my year in Scotland, I learned many useful things.  One of those was that what we in the stated call a loaded baked potato, they call a "jacket potato", which just sounds fancier.  While many americans top their potatoes with chili or broccoli, sour cream, cheese and bacon, the Scotts would  commonly top their potatoes with tuna or coleslaw, which I don't think sounds very fancy at all. Any who, I was born in Idaho and I love me a good baked potato! They're easy peasy lemon sneezy to make as well. Wash the spuds, dry. Toss in olive oil, some salt and pepper, and bake for an hour in a 400 degree (F) oven.  Top with anything that sounds good to you!


I made this for Meatless Monday, but then decided that I wanted to add bacon. So it goes.
