Jacket Potatoes

U.K. This is basic energy food.
Servings: I use one medium to large potato per person.
The FAIRTRADE potatoes are new potatoes in season. One would not normally jacket bake a new potato.

Ingredients

	Organic potatoes
	Butter

Method

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7.
Scrub the potatoes and pierce the skins all over with a fork.
Put the potatoes in the oven directly onto the oven shelf.
Roast for 90 minutes.
Check by piercing the largest potato with a sharp knife. The knife should go in very easily.
If not ready roast longer.
Potatoes at Gas Mark 7 are very hot, so if using the oven for something else as well, move the jacket potatoes down to the bottom, whilst you finish the other cooking.
