Spinach, “Bacon” and Cheese 
Jacket Potatoes

In the UK you they call them Jacket Potatoes, here in
Canada they are plain old Baked Potatoes.
Personally, I like the Jacket!

Lacto (vegan option)
Preparation:  45 - 90 minutes
Serves 4

 
• 4 large baking potatoes (Idaho are good)
• 3 c. spinach, chopped
• 2 green onions
• 1/4 c. soy “bacon” bits
• 1 c. cheddar cheese, grated (vegan or soy cheese is fine)
 
1. Bake potatoes in a 400F oven for about 1 hour.  Or puncture potatoes and microwave on high for 15 minutes, then bake for 15 minutes. Potatoes should be soft on the inside and cruncy on the outside.
2. Meanwhile, quickly steam or microwave spinach until just wilted.
3. Squeeze out water from the spinach.
4. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise.
5. Scoop out pulp, leaving a little bit of potato around the skin.
6. Mash pulp together with spinach, green onions, “bacon” and cheese.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Stuff potatoes shells with pulp mixture.
9. Top with a dusting of paprika, and more cheese, if desired.
10. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, or until heated through.


Not just a side dish.  This can be a whole meal!
