But one recipe, in particular, caught our eye – homemade baked beans and cheese.

Before placing your freshly-washed potato in the oven, Jamie suggested you dry it with a clean tea towel, explaining: "Dry skin will ensure it’ll be crispy once baked."
Once it's cooked, he also said that speed is key when it comes to preparing the dish. "Transfer to a board and cut open straight away – if you let the potato sit after baking, the interior will steam and the potato can become soggy and heavy," the recipe instructions read.
