Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub a little oil and seasoning over the potatoes, then bake on a baking sheet for 25 mins. Turn down the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins more until the flesh is tender and the skin crisp and golden. For a quicker option, prick a potato with a fork. Wrap in a sheet of kitchen paper and microwave on High for 8-10 mins until soft inside. For crisp skin, rub with a little oil, then flash under a hot grill, turning often. To serve, slice a cross in the centre, squeeze the base to 'pop' the top, then choose your favourite filling.
- For the salmon and soft cheese filling, mix 50g light soft cheese with a squeeze lemon juice and seasoning. Pile into a jacket potato and flake 1 hot-smoked salmon fillet on top. Sprinkle with 1 heaped tsp capers and a little lemon zest.

Steps:
- Equipment you will need: medium mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, dessertspoon, fork, baking tray, grater, oven gloves.
- Get an adult to heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake the potatoes for about 1 hr until cooked and the skins are crispy. Leave to cool completely. This can be done up to 2 days ahead.
- To stuff the jacket potatoes, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Ask an adult to cut the potatoes in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving the skin unbroken (like a boat). Place the scooped potato into a mixing bowl.
- Using the fork, mash the potato until there are no lumps. Add the cheese, sweetcorn and peppers and mix well. Gently pick the leaves from the herbs. You can rip the larger leaves into smaller pieces. Stir the herbs into the cheesy potato mixture.
- Using the spoon, carefully scoop the mixture back into the potato boats. Make sure that you use all the mixture up. Sprinkle with a little extra grated cheese and place on a baking tray. Using oven gloves, place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-15 mins until golden.

BAKED JACKET POTATO WITH BAKED BEANS AND CHEESE
This is such a simple, quick meal. It's a very British way to serve a baked potato! Baked beans here are different than in the US so if you can get a British brand, the recipe would be more authentic. British beans are cooked in a tomato sauce with no BBQ flavour. That said, I'm sure this would be yummy with BBQ beans as well!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Bake the potatoes as per your personal preference- I bake them in the oven for about an hour, until the skins are firm and the centres are soft. You may like to smear with butter, sprinkle with salt and wrap in foil.
- Towards the end of the potatoes' cooking time, heat the baked beans in a pan on the stove, until hot.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, cut into quarters without cutting the whole way through. Squeeze the outside of each quarter to "pucker up" the flesh.
- Pour the desired amount of baked beans over the potato and sprinkle with grated cheddar.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve!

Tips:
- For the perfect jacket potato, choose large, evenly-shaped potatoes. Scrub them well, but do not peel them.
- Prick the potatoes all over with a fork to help them cook evenly.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper before baking.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F) for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before cutting them open.
- For the cheesy salmon sauce, use canned salmon or leftover cooked salmon. Flake the salmon into small pieces.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the sauce. Grating your own cheese will give you the best flavor.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the jacket potatoes with the cheesy salmon sauce immediately.
Conclusion:
These jacket potatoes with cheesy salmon sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The potatoes are fluffy and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of salmon flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
