Right on. If there's leftover tuna, curry etc in the fridge I just microwave a potato and top it with the leftovers.

Begs another question, baked or microwave? Baked is much tastier. Put a bit of oil on the skin and bake in the oven.
Jacket potato or baked potato? I used to call them jacket potatoes before moving here

Re: Baked potato
 

Baked MUCH better, but if speed is important, micro for the first half of cooking then 30-45 mins in the oven is acceptable.

I still say jacket, but have to then switch to baked when my kids look at me blankly.

Re: Baked potato
 

Baked is much better but I'm talking about coming home after 12 hour shifts and slinging some leftovers on top of a microwaved potato.

I love making the twice baked ones but I'm meant to be staying away from white carbs, white rice, white potatoes etc.

My wife bought purple and orange potatoes the other day. Tasted fine , just looked a bit weird

Re: Baked potato
 

There's a lot of that going on. The multi colored carrot packs, orange and purple cauliflowers. I've seen the purple potatoes but not the orange ones. I've had both a purple and orange cauliflower and can't taste any difference but they do have different nutritional content. I'm going to check out the different potatoes and see if any are better or not. I do like white potatoes, it's a weakness.

Re: Baked potato
 

Scrape out virtually all of the insides and do loaded potato skins instead - it's near enough the same thing, and squeaks in under the lowish carb radar.

Re: Baked potato
 

I am not a big potato fan but for baked when I have one every blue moon, butter/margarine, sour cream and some cheese.

Now the talk of purple cauliflower? Is that some US thing? Only have the white variety here, although potatoes seems to come in different colors on the outside.

Re: Baked potato
 

We have multicoloured potatoes, carrots and cauliflower

You have an awesome supermarket. Though........if you tell me later you shop at Whole Foods, I might not get judgey about it, but other posters will.

Just give me an oven baked potato with butter and sour cream. No salt, sometimes a bit of pepper. Salted already from the butter so don't add table salt. Like cheese in mashed potatoes not on my baked and never any other add-ons.

Re: Baked potato
 

Butter,cheese and Branston pickle

Re: Baked potato
 

Toast toppers yes-yukky stuff but OK for kids and students.

Re: Baked potato
 

Read alot of references to putting tuna on a baked potato, I must confess that I had never heard of that. Is the tuna heated with the potato or added as a topping after baking?
I am assuming this is an English thing.
