Ingredients
Method
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7 (220 °C; 425 °F).
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 straight from baking 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.
To serve
With butter.
