Jacket Potatoes with Miso Butter and Kimchi

Jacket Potatoes with Miso Butter and Kimchi. Extra crispy exterior with a savory, fluffy and delicious center. The same as a baked potato here in the United States but baked for a lot longer. Easy, delicious and filling, we’ve been making these over and over again.

After watching this video on TikTok, I was hooked. That crispy exterior and the fillings ..  I was mesmerized by the beans and all the butter and cheese. I knew I had to try!  What are jacket potatoes you ask? It’s simply a baked potato, known in some parts of the United Kingdom as a jacket potato. It may be served with fillings, toppings or condiments such as butter, cheese, sour cream, gravy, baked beans, and tuna. They bake theirs for much longer and it seems like they are more adventurous with the fillings.

Well, until now.

I fell in love with the miso butter and kimchi combination when I made roasted Japanese sweet potatoes. I knew I had to try this combo with regular Russet potatoes. My jacket potato above has a pool of miso butter. Heaven. 

Jacket Potatoes with Miso Butter and Kimchi

There seem to be many opinions on how to make a jacket potato. Some start with a microwave. Some don’t oil or season the potatoes at all and some don’t prick the potato but cut it and simply place it onto the oven rack. I baked my potatoes at 425 for 2 hours. If you try this, let me know what you think!

Ingredients

• 4 medium sized Russet potatoes scrubbed clean, dried and prick with fork all over
• olive oil extra virgin
• salt and pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temp
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• freshly ground pepper
• kimchi
• chili crunch hot honey optional

Instructions

For the potatoes:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Prep a parchment paper lined baking sheet with an oven safe rack; (alternatively, you can place the potatoes directly onto your oven rack but the bottom of your oven may get a little messy. I like to bake my potatoes on a rack so the skin bakes evenly all over) lightly rub olive oil over the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 2 hours.

For the miso butter:

• Mix or whisk together the butter and miso paste until smooth. Season with pepper. Taste and adjust anything as needed. Set aside.

To serve:

• Once the potatoes are ready, slice open lengthwise and crosswise and open the potato. Dollop some miso butter inside and top with kimchi and the chili crunch hot honey drizzled on top. Enjoy while hot.

Notes

This version with miso butter and kimchi is so delicious! For the version I show in my video: jacket potato recipe: add butter, Rustic Red Cheddar, sour cream, canned baked beans (I'm told that the preferred brand is Heinz Baked Beans) and crispy shallots and/or green onions.
