Baked Potatoes

The first time I had a baked potato was on the streets of London. It is called jacket potatoes in the UK. It a dish loved by kids.

There are different varieties of baked potatoes like Rocket brad, Brie and Backon Jacket Potato, etc… The UK itself has around 80 varieties.

Well for now I have this one variety of it which I tried and it turned out to be a perfect baked potato dish. If anyone has a different baked potato recipe you are most welcome to post it on my blog.
