Plain jacket with salt and butter at Mr Spud, Stevenage

The humble jacket is sadly going out of fashion these days so not many places offer them apart from caffs etc.

There was a jacket potato stall so I decided to get a plain jacket to appreciate and see if it was a good potato.
Jackets these days are presented differently from the past like shown on their product pictures.
The old way was cutting a cross in the middle and pressing the jacket from the four sides and using a fork to fluff it up.
A good jacket will fluff up.
Anyway, I guess these days it is more convenient to flatten them out for the fillings.
The jacket I had was nice but somehow different because the potato is different and the skin is thinner with a strong earthy taste.
Overall, definitely worth trying.
