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 😄

After a rough day, watching Emmy is a dose of sweetness and light that just makes everything okay again. Also, recipes❤

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🙋‍♀️♥️

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!!!!

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.

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.

@shestewa6581

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.

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.

Brush them with oil or Bacon Fat, or Duck Fat, or Goose Fat.

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

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!!❤

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!!!

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!!

@CricketsBay

I think Emmy made garlic smooshed onto toast (I don't remember if she added honey) in her Confit Garlic video.

Whenever Emmy makes a dish, you could photograph it and put it in a magazine.

My preferred filling is with Boursin, the Garlic and herbs one. It truly is amazing and no other can beat it.

Poppy is the potato queen chef. Shes been on Sorted Food alot!

Now I am hungry for a baked potato! Thanks ever so much. 🤣

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.

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.

My mom used russet potatoes, massaged crisco over the skin, and baked at 350 for an hour. They were so crispy and delicious!

Yay, a classic style topic for Emmy! I was missing the hard times or cheap eats series (and fruity fruits, of course).

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.

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.

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

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 !)

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.

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.

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.

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❤️

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

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!

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.

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!

I love Poppy, she's so much fun. Got introduced to her potato ways through her guest spots on Sorted Food. ♥

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.

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.

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” 😂 🎉

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.

Emmy is fantastic 🫡

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. :)

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.

I make baked potatoes with tandoori masala seasonning and they are amazing ❤❤❤

Hmm call it what you'd like but I just see a baked potatoe hahaha

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.

That potato looked absolutely delicious. I have got to try it. ❤❤

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

I'm going to have one of these for dinner, they look so good!

Crispy skinned jacket potato (not sliced first) with baked beans and cheese!!!! That's a classic uk Jacket potato Emmy!

I can't wait to make this one!!!

I’m not a fan of potato skins, but I love a fluffy baked potato (with pepper, butter and sour cream). It’s one of my favorite comfort meals!

Yum...making these tonight

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.

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'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

Looks delicious!

One of those potatoes would BE dinner for me!!!

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.

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.)

one of my favorite evening snacks. a little salt, butter sour cream. possibly some finely chopped red onion.

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.🤷‍♀️👍🏻🥰

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!

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.

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.

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

OOOOH, garlic cheese potatoes sound amazing.

I think grated mature cheddar would do well with these. You need to try naked beans on baked potatoes with grated cheese.

Jacket potatoes are so yummy ❤

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
