orlright spud puckers? the top ten

1. Beans and Cheese
This is the classic filling. Heat the baked beans - they work really well if the sauce has been reduced down and the beans have started to go a bit mushy. Grate a good amount of strong cheddar cheese. Split the potato, add some butter then pour over the beans. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and watch it melt into the beans. Delicious.

2. Chilli and Soured Cream
Chilli con carne works really well with jacket potatoes and this is great if you have some in the fridge or freezer. Heat it separately then spoon over the jacket potato. Top with some soured cream.

3. Tuna, Red onion and Pepper
Finely chop half a red onion and half a red pepper then place in a bowl with a drained can of tuna. Mix in some mayonnaise and season with freshly ground black pepper. This makes enough for two potatoes.

4. Mushrooms and Cream
Melt a little butter in a pan, add a couple of handfuls of chopped mushrooms (a mix of mushrooms is best) and fry until they're soft and cooked through. Drizzle in some single cream and heat through. The cream will soften the potato and the mushrooms taste great.

5. Prawns with Mayonnaise
A handful of cooked prawns is all you need for a glamorous topping for your spud. Defrosted, frozen, cooked prawns are ideal for this. Just heat them through thoroughly and mix with a little mayonnaise.

6. Curry
A great way to use up leftover curry. Most curries work well as a topping for jackets - just heat through thoroughly and spoon over the potato.

7. Coleslaw
Perfect for a summer lunch or snack and there's really nothing for you do apart from open the carton and spoon the coleslaw over your spud.

8. Bacon
Crispy bacon rashers work really well as a simple topping for baked potatoes.

9. Cream Cheese and Chives
Choose a full-fat cream cheese and don't be shy! Chop some chives and scatter these over the top.

10. Bolognese
