Very popular in the UK it is- and not bad at all tarted up with some mayo and crunchy bits. In my experience the tuna (tinned) is always cold. Try it, you may be pleasantly surprised.
I like chilli con carne on Jackets.

Coronation chicken.

Also important is to do the potato at least partly in the oven, so the skin is nice and crisp. Do them only in the microwave and the skin's insipid.

Rubbed in butter, covered in six layers of foil, placed in a crock pot on low setting for 8 hours.
Served with with butter, sour cream, onion and BBQ chopped beef with BBQ sauce and topped with grated extra sharp cheddar cheese.

Sounds good.... My husband finishes our bakers off on the grill with a bit of olive oil and sea salt rubbed on the outside....

Re: Baked potato
 

Hour and a half in the oven with a coating of olive oil and rock salt, crispy tasty skin, cover in your favourite topping...................cheese and chilli is my fave at the mo

What a cheap and tasty meal!!

Re: Baked potato
 

I like microwave "baked" potatoes, they taste that same as oven-baked to me. I put some oil on the potato skin, salt it, poke it several times with a fork, and then zap it for 5 minutes on each side. Turns out nice and fluffy inside, salty and a bit crunchy on the outside.

On top, I like lots of butter, sour cream, a bit more salt, and pepper. Chives and cheese are OK, but not required. Don't care for bacon on it.

I've never heard of putting tuna on a baked potato! Somehow that doesn't sound appetizing to me.

That's my definition of a jacket potato right there. Used to be a fantastic shop in Cambridge called Tatties (if my memory serves me correctly) and their Coronation chicken jacket potato was da bomb.

Re: Baked potato
 

I use a similar system for my favorites -- baked yams. Brush them with olive oil, poke all over with the tines of a fork, then give them eight to ten minutes in the microwave. I then finish them off on the barbecue to give a bit of crunch to the skin (the tastiest part!) and serve split open with butter and salt.

Have to agree that I can't quite imagine tuna in a baked spud!

Much better than tuna mayo is tuna mashed up with sweetcorn and cottage cheese.

How comes we get to 43 posts before anyone mentions Branston Pickle

Because it's nearly as awful as Marmite?

Re: Baked potato
 

Do they do fishcakes here - something like leftover baked salmon fillet, mixed with mashed potato and seasonings, breadcrumbed, then baked/ fried? It's not a million miles from that.

Take a tin of tuna - something with a bit of chunk texture to it, not the really cheap mush - scoop into a bowl and roughly fork it into chunky pieces, add chopped salad onions, finely cubed red pepper, corn, a couple of spoons of mayonnaise (not too much - you want finely coated, not a gloopy swamp), then season as desired - at least salt and black pepper, but I like a Mexican-ish zing of dried chili flakes, lime, paprika, cumin, that sort of thing.
