Imagine a jacket potato bursting with a luscious, cheesy blend and drizzled with a velvety, roasted garlic and parsley sauce that makes the potato shine. I prefer using a six-star cut for my jacket potatoes to ensure that every part is filled, allowing the dressing to seep into each slice. This recipe proves that you can create a truly amazing meal with just a few simple ingredients, without breaking the bank.
