My favorite filling for baked potato is beans and grated cheese with brown sauce and 2nd choice is tuna and sweetcorn with mayo.

Vivaldi is the type of potatoes that don't need extra butter, they work great for mash but would recommend something more floury for a good baked potato, like maris piper or king edward.

Thanks for your feedback Lin! We love our jacket potatoes here at the Potato Council. On their own with a tasty filling like tuna and lime or to accompany chilli con carne instead of rice. Rice has 13 times more fat than potato!

Well yes the method is good... well the oven method anyhow, I wouldn't insult a potato by microwaving it...
But oh dear... Estima's and Marfona's do not good bakers make... Maris Piper or one I recently discovered, the Red Duke of York make wonderful baked spuds.

Hi Paul,
I'm not sure which one Sainsbury's were marketing as not needing butter but Marfona sounds likely as it is only 3 on the waxy/floury scale. This will be the main waxy variety you can find in the supermarkets other than Charlotte, which won't be in season for much longer as it is a salad potato. You might want to look out for Duke of York, Harmony and Nadine if you like waxy varieties (1 and 2 on the scale) but less waxy varieties that will stil hold firm and are readily available are Mris Piper and Desiree. Hope that helps!
Ellie

Hi
Q while ago J.Sainsburys tried selling a potatoe they claimed almost didn't need butter was it Marfona or another type. What varieties are the 1s and 2s in the waxy scale and where can they be easily purchased
Thanks in anticipation
