A
potato baked in its
skin ('
jacket'). I believe this is a
Britishism, or whatever the word is. In the U.S. this would be called a
baked potato. You get all of the
nutrients from the skin, plus texture - A jacket potato can be eaten with all kinds of fatty toppings, like
butter or
sour cream. Meat-eating people may add
bacon. Others might add
cheese.
What nutrients are in the skin? From what i can tell, calcium, potassium and fiber figure among them. I just eat it with the skin for the texture and the pop/tear when the skin breaks.
This definition was a chatterbox request.
