I am totally on a potato kick lately and trying all the ways to make them crispy. So many people complained in my last video that the potatoes looked dry, but that’s the whole point of making jacket potatoes – to dry them out and get them ultra-crispy. That get the best texture with no oil or butter added at all. This is another method for crispy potatoes that mimics deep frying but in the oven. I love this method too because of that gorgeous golden crust on the potatoes and incredible texture.

Jacket potatoes with crispy bacon & comté are next level comfort food. Topped with golden, melted comté cheese and crispy bacon, a recipe that is all about simple ingredients done right. | Matt Moran
