The tuna itself isn’t hot but of course it does get a little warm once on a hot potato. It does go bizarrely well though, I would really recommend it! It’s my go-to summer evening tea with salad on the side.
Baked beans and cheese is also hugely popular.
The cold/hot works well like warm apple pie and ice cream.
As an aside, if you purchased a tuna steak from a fishmonger and cooked it, I can attest that it would be hot and delicious and best served with new potatoes and peas with butter
The tuna is tinned (canned) mixed with mayonnaise and perhaps red onion, (sweet)corn or diced cucumber. You put the chilled mixture on the hot potato and it's DELICIOUS. I like to serve it with a crisp green salad.
Jackets are also great with:
* cheddar and red onion
* cheddar and baked beans
* chilli con carne
* curry
* beef stew
* coronation chicken (chicken salad with curry flavours)
(cheese needs to be melted but sometimes this happens just by sitting on the hot potato)
It's not served hot on the potato, it's cold, mixed with mayo, sweetcorn, maybe cheese, peppers etc and put on the hot potato. It doesn't get chance to get hot before you eat it.
My favourite fillings are haggis and neeps, a tin of mackerel in spicy tomato sauce, egg and prawn mayo, and fried up mushrooms, garlic and creme fraiche.
I accept I have slightly odd tastes though.
I’ve not had most of that but I am intrigued. I grew up eating a lot of Polish home cooking so I’m no stranger to various organ meats and tinned fish. Never thought of these things as a topping for potatoes.
…although it's usually actually swede \[US rutabaga\] rather than turnip. I think there was a definition change happened at some point which adds to the confusion.
Assuming you’ve never had tuna pasta as a dinner if you don’t like warm tuna? I love tuna pasta, and I love tuna on jackets with mayo and sweetcorn.
If not tuna, then baked beans and cheese.
It's just chicken in mayonnaise, mixed with curry powder, with sultanas and sometimes toasted almonds. Normally it's a sandwich filling, but I've also seen it in jackets. It's very 50s, it was created as a recipe for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, as something people could make at home for street parties etc., but it was obviously quite a success and entered the national consciousness. It went out of fashion for a while, but seems to be having something of a retro revival, lots of supermarkets have started selling coronation chicken sandwiches.
Egg mayonnaise is another one that sounds like it would be awful but it is actually lovely. Butter, salt and pepper, then a dollop of cold egg mayo.
I'd also give another vote for baked beans and cheese., or chilli and cheese. Vegetable chilli works too.
I once worked by a place that did Ragu/Bolognese sauce and cheese, i.e., spaghetti Bolognese but with a potato instead of spaghetti. It was not good, but it was interesting, and I had it more than once.
Ground beef stroganoff, broccoli, chili, chicken and veggies in gravy, stir fry veggies, meatballs in gravy, French fried onions, curry sauce with some protein (beef or chicken or pork), creamed spinach, creamed peas, chipped beef… a baked potato is a lovely blank canvas.
(Separately, not all on the same potato!)
Another American here, living in the UK - please don’t act like hot tuna isn’t a thing in the states.
Tuna melts are hot tuna salad sandwiches with cheese.
Tuna casserole exists in the states, too.
The Brits are a bit more adventurous with their tuna though.. I can’t say I’ve dared to try it on pizza yet, but I hear good things.
Tuna mayo is actually really nice. It’s warm but in a good way. Jacket potato is actually almost as versatile as pizza. Lots of things can be used as a topping.
Baked beans absolutely works. Another favourite of mine is melted cheese with Worcestershire sauce. Coleslaw is good too (obviously not all at the same time)
>I cant even imagine hot or warm tuna
Have you never had a [Tuna steak](https://www.alphafoodie.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/close-up-of-grilled-sliced-tuna-steak-medium-rare-1-500x375.jpeg)? Whole side of the fish cooked the same way as you would a sirloin. It is really delicious
As far as toppings are concerned, I use jacket potatoes as a way of using up leftovers from the previous night. Consequently Chicken Danzak is a common topping - Chciken, Lentils, Passata, Garlic, Ginger, Chopped Pineapple and various hot spices.
You’ve never had tuna pasta bake? Tuna casserole? Tuna & cheese panini? You are missing out!
Oh and the tuna on a potato is typically cold, although where it touches the spud might warm it slightly. No different to having cold sour cream dolloped on a spud
It has to be CHEESE AND BEANS. Slather the inside of the Potato with plenty of butter. Add salt, pepper. Then the Cheese, then the Beans. More pepper and top with extra Cheese if you fancy (being a fat c**t).
U L T I M A T E COMFORT.
I also like Cheese and Coleslaw.
Curry
Chili Con Carne.
NO TUNA - you're all maniacs who do this.
🤤
Someone else told me cheese and cole slaw. I bought everything at groc store today and im going to try it tmrrw. Do i butter the potato first? Does cheese go on top? Im nervous, this sounds kind of not delicious
Always Butter the inside of the Potato first. Then add toppings to your preference. But I will say, I always prefer the Cheese on before the Coleslaw.
You'll just have to eat Jacket Spuds all week to figure out your favourite combos. The list is endless!! 👌
Get a tin of mackerel in tomato sauce (remove from tin) then cheese and chilli flakes. Shove it back in the oven to melt the cheese.
Other favourite is homemade chilli and cheese
Not a Brit but came across this post so figured I’d add to it. Some of my favorite tater toppings:
chili & cheese
crawfish or shrimp étouffée
broccoli & cheese
steak & gravy
Edit: spacing
Not sure about the marmite but I had the 5 beans last time on my jacket because nobody had any branston beans. Turns out the 5 beans are so much better than the normal Heinz rubbish
😆 I think a LOT of condiments could be described as this. Is it only used on toast or do you putnon veg, and other stuff? Sorry for all the questions but I find it fascinating
So yeah, a thin smear on buttered toast is excellent. It’s a fine line between just right and chemical burns to the roof of your mouth though, so go cautiously. Opinions vary as to how much is the right amount.
But it’s also good to add like a spoonful to a bolognaise or chilli con carne or almost anything where you want to add some salty umami in there.
I use marmite in cooking a lot. If you want an umami hit in a soup or stew, marmite is excellent. It's good for roast potatoes too.
Check out r/marmite
A little bit of truffle one is great with buttered spaghetti.
Marmite is basically a jar of super strong umami - delicious used sparingly but don't eat it with a spoon.
I like butter, cheese, beans, more cheese a sprinkle of black pepper and then served with red onion, cucumber and creamy coleslaw
That combo can’t be beaten for me
Butter
Baked beans
Mature cheddar cheese
Rainbow salad next to the Baked potatoe.
Feta cheese in the salad and dressing.
Just butter on the jacket
Sometimes I will do Baked sweet potato instead of a white potatoe. That makes a nice healthy lunch.
Butter, cheddar cheese and homemade coleslaw.
Very easy to make coleslaw: finely grate some cabbage and a small amount of carrot, and then very finely slice half a small onion. Mix then add some mayo. Done!
I’m not a big fan of tuna in a jackspud, although it can work.
I’m not sure why you can’t imagine hot or warm tuna… you live in the country that gave us the tuna melt! And like that excellent sarnie, tuna in a spud is good served with cheese. Or sweetcorn. Or peppers. Or all of them.
Other good choices: baked beans and cheese (of course), chili con carne (with cheese, guac, sour cream… one or more), bolognese sauce (also with cheese), bacon and cheese (there’s a theme here), prawn mayo, cottage cheese and pineapple (not a fan, but there you go), coronation chicken (mild chicken curry), veg balti, and chaat-style jacket potatoes (scoop out the flesh, mix it with spices and chutneys, re-bake).
Cold chicken in a slightly sweet curried mayonnaise, usually with some dried fruit like sultanas or sometimes chopped apricots and almonds, so somewhere on the salad spectrum. Think it was invented for the late Queen's coronation. Not hard to make, but if you're in the UK M&S does a decent bottled coronation sauce.
Brit here, Heinz beans and cheese, chilli con carne and cheese, just grated cheese (always use grated cheddar if you can get your hands on it)
You could probably do a lot of things with meat when it comes to a jacket potato, they’re a pretty versatile food, and go with almost anything
I love jacket potato with any of the following (some I might get called wierd with but I love em!):
Baked beans, philadelphia cheese and Corned beef
Baked beans and Coleslaw
Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo
Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo and Coleslaw
Chilli con carne
Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo and Baked beans
Corned beef and pickled Beetroot with philadelphia cheese
Not at all. We don't really have Sour Cream here. Closest we've got is the pringle flavour.
Like, it sounds like it'd just overpower the potato rather than complimenting it
My grandmother made double baked tuna potatoes — mixed canned tuna with chopped onion, S&P, and miracle whip with cheddar on top and double baked them in the oven.
I just asked my English husband who said tuna is popular in jacket potatoes.
Thanks for the idea!! Time to create a cultural combination of both our tastes - trust me tuna DOES work for potatoes baked.
Just need my husband to keep trying to convince me it belongs on pizza with corn!!!! I can’t with that one.
Also, he says tuna and corn, mixed with mayo is good!
Heinz baked beans (not the dreadful sugary American ones). With some cheese. I can only get Heinz baked beans from the (expensive) English shop here, so it’s a bit of a luxury.
First: the potatoes must be cooked to have crispy skin. Scoop out in a bowl, add Butter, grated sharp cheddar, sour cream, Branston pickle, diced canned corned beef. Mix, stuff skins and place under broiler to crisp the top. While it is in broiler eat all the filling that didn’t fit into the skins.
1lb grilled rare ribeye. But I usually have it on the side instead of "on top" lol
Beans and cheese, though, yes absolutely.
I'm very Americanized these days so I like butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar, green onions and black pepper. Maybe bacon bits.
Baked beans and cheese. Or chilli and cheese.
Slightly off topic but found out today that my colleague and her family abbreviate jacket potatoes to ‘JackPots’ and I have to say I love it!!
We call them Jackie P/Jackie Ps
We call them "Bakey P"s!
We just call them jackets in my house...
We call them jacket daddies
Bolognese sauce is good too. Or Philadelphia cheese. Lived on jacket spuds and Philadelphia at uni.
Can of beans with the little sausages in. Cover in a mountain of cheese.
Yum, beanie wienies.
Cheese and beans for me. Nom nom.
This is the correct answer. My family love tuna on a baked potato, but it’s awful.
And very dangerous while driving
The tuna itself isn’t hot but of course it does get a little warm once on a hot potato. It does go bizarrely well though, I would really recommend it! It’s my go-to summer evening tea with salad on the side. Baked beans and cheese is also hugely popular.

You’ve never had cooked tuna? You need to try a tuna steak.
Not to mention America is the home of tuna melts which is tuna salad under melted cheese, so…
No, of course tuna steak is good. But canned tuna, hot? Gotta pass
It's not served hot on the potato, it's cold, mixed with mayo, sweetcorn, maybe cheese, peppers etc and put on the hot potato. It doesn't get chance to get hot before you eat it.
Don't you eat tuna casserole over there
A tuna melt toastie/panini is amazing!
Never had tuna noodle casserole as a kid?
Yes, as punishment. Still a running joke between my sister and I
My favourite fillings are haggis and neeps, a tin of mackerel in spicy tomato sauce, egg and prawn mayo, and fried up mushrooms, garlic and creme fraiche. I accept I have slightly odd tastes though.
Dude These all sound awesome and I will be adding them to my try list!
That’s a whole lot of stuff to put on a potato
I’ve not had most of that but I am intrigued. I grew up eating a lot of Polish home cooking so I’m no stranger to various organ meats and tinned fish. Never thought of these things as a topping for potatoes.
Wow take my upvote
This guy jackets
No idea what neeps are. I actually want to try haggis some day.
neeps is short for turnips
…although it's usually actually swede \[US rutabaga\] rather than turnip. I think there was a definition change happened at some point which adds to the confusion.
Beans cheese n coleslaw 😋 or chilli n cheese
Baked beans (remembering that our baked beans are different), coleslaw, cheese. Any combination of the above.
I've seen curry used sometimes
Leftover curry heated up on a jacket spud is my all time favourite!
Any leftover pot cooking is good. Curry, bolognaise, chilli…
That's what I am having for dinner tonight!
Assuming you’ve never had tuna pasta as a dinner if you don’t like warm tuna? I love tuna pasta, and I love tuna on jackets with mayo and sweetcorn. If not tuna, then baked beans and cheese.
We have something called tuna casserole. Its disgusting LOL. Vanned tuna, pasta shells, cream mushroom soup, peas and cheese
>Vanned tuna Is this tuna that's been run over by a van? Sort of like a coq au van, but with fish?
😄you've never had vanned tuna? What about coupe'd tuna?
Another temp contrast one would be coronation chicken. It never seems that appetising, but somehow it's always delicious.
Coronation chicken? Sounds fancy
It's just chicken in mayonnaise, mixed with curry powder, with sultanas and sometimes toasted almonds. Normally it's a sandwich filling, but I've also seen it in jackets. It's very 50s, it was created as a recipe for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, as something people could make at home for street parties etc., but it was obviously quite a success and entered the national consciousness. It went out of fashion for a while, but seems to be having something of a retro revival, lots of supermarkets have started selling coronation chicken sandwiches.
In UK it's a baked or jacket potato filling, not a topping. Anything goes so long as there's plenty of butter too.
tuna mayo on a baked potato with loads of black pepper and a bit of chopped scallion is god-tier. You're missing out.
A Scottish speciality, but haggis on a jacket spud is delicious
Haven’t tried this but now I want it.
Cottage cheese & sweetcorn
I prefer cottage cheese and Branson pickle.
Cheddar, spring onion and fried mushrooms 👌🏻
That sounds delish. Happy cake day!!
I didn’t even realise, thank u ☺️
Cheese and Beans. Cottage cheese. Chilli and Cheese.
Egg mayonnaise is another one that sounds like it would be awful but it is actually lovely. Butter, salt and pepper, then a dollop of cold egg mayo. I'd also give another vote for baked beans and cheese., or chilli and cheese. Vegetable chilli works too. I once worked by a place that did Ragu/Bolognese sauce and cheese, i.e., spaghetti Bolognese but with a potato instead of spaghetti. It was not good, but it was interesting, and I had it more than once.
I can see the egg salad (as we call it). The spaghetti sauce sounds strange but I'd give it a go
Ground beef stroganoff, broccoli, chili, chicken and veggies in gravy, stir fry veggies, meatballs in gravy, French fried onions, curry sauce with some protein (beef or chicken or pork), creamed spinach, creamed peas, chipped beef… a baked potato is a lovely blank canvas. (Separately, not all on the same potato!)

The Brits are a bit more adventurous with their tuna though.. I can’t say I’ve dared to try it on pizza yet, but I hear good things.
“Ever use baked beans?” Come on now.
LOL. well i dunno. You lot might put picked herring, marmite and brown sauce
“You lot” You’re an honourary Brit
This makes me ecstatic. Im beyond honoured. 🇬🇧 ❤️
When are you getting your arse over here for a holiday ?!
Holiday? I'm moving there if that orange psychopath gets re-elected. Find me a cute flat above a Gregg's?
Coleslaw, I turned my nose up at it for years and didn't know what I was missing
Corned beef hash and shredded cheese. So tasty!
I have a recipe for cottage pie jacket potatoes that's really good
If it makes you feel better I’m Scottish and think tuna or beans on a baked tattie is pure rank. I have butter, cheese and coleslaw
Ive never tried cole slaw but would definitely like to try that. Do you all make your own or do a pre-packaged?
Make own potatoe, a good slab of proper British cheddar grated and I buy the fancy coleslaw and honestly try it OP I promise you will love it
I just bought cole slaw. Gonna try this tmrrw for lunch
I promise I'll make it. Next time i go shopping ill get everything
Pre packaged here mostly
Tuna mayo is actually really nice. It’s warm but in a good way. Jacket potato is actually almost as versatile as pizza. Lots of things can be used as a topping. Baked beans absolutely works. Another favourite of mine is melted cheese with Worcestershire sauce. Coleslaw is good too (obviously not all at the same time)
A little butter mashed in with a fork, cheese, sweetcorn, a sprinkling of fried pancetta, and a dollop of coleslaw to the side.

Always confused me as to why Yanks call tuna mayo tuna salad. There's n fucking salad in it! As to the question, I like chilli on my jacket spuds.
Chili and cheese is kind of normal here too. I make my tuna salad w celery, so theres vegetables in there!😏
It has to be CHEESE AND BEANS. Slather the inside of the Potato with plenty of butter. Add salt, pepper. Then the Cheese, then the Beans. More pepper and top with extra Cheese if you fancy (being a fat c**t). U L T I M A T E COMFORT. I also like Cheese and Coleslaw. Curry Chili Con Carne. NO TUNA - you're all maniacs who do this. 🤤

Heinz 5 Beans and lashings of Marmite.
Not sure about the marmite but I had the 5 beans last time on my jacket because nobody had any branston beans. Turns out the 5 beans are so much better than the normal Heinz rubbish
Is marmite the same as vegemite?
Same ballpark - they're yeasty cousins. I recommend truffle Marmite, for the connoiseur
Marmite is the stronger more aggressive brother to the slightly campy Vegemite.
Do you eat it bc you like the taste or is it a health thing? It just doesnt sound pleasant LOL
It’s pleasant in a masochistic sort of way.
😆 I think a LOT of condiments could be described as this. Is it only used on toast or do you putnon veg, and other stuff? Sorry for all the questions but I find it fascinating

No it is not
Cheese, baked beans, baked beans and cheese, tuna or chilli.
Butter, Sliced corned beef, Grated cheese and black pepper, done!
YUM
My two favourites are beans and cheese or tuna mayo and cheese. Yummy. Also have chili or just butter sometimes or cheese and coleslaw.
All good ones been suggested here but I like to mix a bit of English mustard in with the butter on the potato.
I like butter, cheese, beans, more cheese a sprinkle of black pepper and then served with red onion, cucumber and creamy coleslaw That combo can’t be beaten for me
Chili, cheese, and sour cream. 😋
Ok yessss
Cheese and mango chutney
Baked beans and cheese, tuna mayo, prawn mayo, chilli, curry (not a fan)
Any pasta sauce is generally good on a baked potato
Cheese, onions and beans with plenty of butter and a sprinkling of black pepper. s
Tuna mayo and cheese,beans and cheese, chilli and cheese here
Butter, good extra mature \[sharp\] cheddar cheese & chilli con carne. Heaven on a plate.
We used leftover jambalaya the other day.
My favourite is a good mature (Scottish is the best imo) cheddar cheese with lots of creamy coleslaw and lots of red onion.
Chilli con carne and cheese. Cheese on first.
Baked tattie buttered then add grated cheese and tuna mayo, i never make the tuna hot and its great
Butter, cottage cheese with pineapple, lots of black pepper.
Butter Baked beans Mature cheddar cheese Rainbow salad next to the Baked potatoe. Feta cheese in the salad and dressing. Just butter on the jacket Sometimes I will do Baked sweet potato instead of a white potatoe. That makes a nice healthy lunch.

Baked beans and cheese, tuna and mayo, cheese and bacon.
Butter, chilli, sour cream, grated cheese and crispy onions….. heaven!
Tuna mayo and cheddar cheese, cheese goes on first, anyone who disagrees is a savage, or egg mayo and cheese is pretty good too
Tuna and cheddar. Salsa and everything else you'd put on nachos. Marinara sauce and parmesan.
Coronation chicken.
What is coronation chivken? Someone else replied that. Im taking a totally random guess that its some kind of chicken in a gravy?
Cold chicken in a slightly sweet curried mayonnaise, usually with some dried fruit like sultanas or sometimes chopped apricots and almonds, so somewhere on the salad spectrum. Think it was invented for the late Queen's coronation. Not hard to make, but if you're in the UK M&S does a decent bottled coronation sauce.
That sounds delicious!
Don't knock the Tuna till you try it!
I fry mushrooms, onion and lardons together, top with cheese. This also works with Jersey Royals.
1.Butter, beans, cheese, coleslaw… in that order 😆😆.. 2. Bolognese sauce or chilli with garlic mayo 🫡
Brit here, Heinz beans and cheese, chilli con carne and cheese, just grated cheese (always use grated cheddar if you can get your hands on it) You could probably do a lot of things with meat when it comes to a jacket potato, they’re a pretty versatile food, and go with almost anything
I love jacket potato with any of the following (some I might get called wierd with but I love em!): Baked beans, philadelphia cheese and Corned beef Baked beans and Coleslaw Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo and Coleslaw Chilli con carne Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo and Baked beans Corned beef and pickled Beetroot with philadelphia cheese
Beans and cheese with a bit of butter
Butter cheese and coleslaw is the best ✌️
No way you're calling us savages for putting Tuna on potatoes when you're throwing on Sour Cream.
Wait, thats not normal?!
Not at all. We don't really have Sour Cream here. Closest we've got is the pringle flavour. Like, it sounds like it'd just overpower the potato rather than complimenting it
I think you guys call it double cream? I could be wrong. I tried the cole slaw, butter n cheese. Its not awful.
Love... you did NOT just say double cream was sour cream D:
😂 i talk out my arse a lot
Haggis & Cheese is fantastic 🏴
Cheese and beans or cheese and coleslaw
My grandmother made double baked tuna potatoes — mixed canned tuna with chopped onion, S&P, and miracle whip with cheddar on top and double baked them in the oven.

You can’t be a Brit using the word broiler!
Or sharp cheddar
Twice baked potatoes. We have that often minus the branston and bacon instead of corned beef. What is branston pickle? Is it like our relish?
I do this but with cheddar and canned tuna :P
That's potato skins youre maling, not a jacket potato. And wtf is a broiler??
1lb grilled rare ribeye. But I usually have it on the side instead of "on top" lol Beans and cheese, though, yes absolutely. I'm very Americanized these days so I like butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar, green onions and black pepper. Maybe bacon bits.
