What Should I Eat Tonight?

Tonight on the menu... the trusted spud! You are having an absolutely low effort, super easy, extremely quick, designed for the lazy meal. If you are like a super serious cook, you can put your spud in the oven for like an hour and get it all nice and brown.

Or you can just wash it, fork it to death, put it in the microwave and hope that it cooks evenly. Personally, I always go for the second option! There is something so delicious about so little effort. In all seriousness, the jacket potato is a super great and easy meal choice.

A potato can take you anywhere from five minutes to a couple of hours, depending on your level of commitment. Obviously the amount of effort you put in depends entirely on your schedule.

How do you make a jacket potato?
Really? 

Take the potato. Wash the potato. Put the potato in microwave. The best methods for making jacket potatoes are hotly debated topics by chefs all around the world. Aluminium keeps your potatoes hot until they are ready to eat. If you are super lucky, you may even get your own lights show (but it's totally super rare, don't worry.)

What do I put on the jacket potato?

It depends! Are you feeling supremely lazy? Leftovers of marinated mince can make a super awesome topping, but you may only want to go for cheese. The meal will still be quite filling and starchy even without a protein, but don't deprive yourself. The strength of potato lies in how versatile it is, so remember, put whatever you want on it until it works (I would skip desserts though)

On the menu tonight is a whatever jacket potato with a side salad with no dressing. Enjoy your super classy totally fit for a dinner party dinner tonight!
