Jacket potatoes need contrast. Desiree delivers that contrast reliably.

Rub with oil and salt, bake directly on a rack, and split while hot to vent steam. The skin stays crisp and the flesh stays moist enough for toppings.

For pubs and home cooks alike, Desiree is a practical red-skin jacket choice.
