Step 3: Top each filled potato with a grind of black pepper and a dollop of onion chutney to add a tangy contrast.

Tips & Variations

For a twist, try adding cooked bacon bits or chopped chives to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
To make it vegetarian-friendly, ensure the chutney contains no animal products and consider using a vegetarian cheese blend.
If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, mix in some finely chopped red onion or sautéed shallots.

Storage

Store any leftover cheese topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to prepare the cheese mixture fresh for topping the potatoes. Reheat jacket potatoes in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until warmed through, then add the cheese topping just before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a baked potato placed in the center of a white plate on a white marbled surface. The potato has a slightly rough, brown skin with a split top. On the bottom layer, there is creamy white cheese inside the split, topped with shredded pale yellow cheese. Above this, there is a thick, dark reddish sauce spread in the center. Small green chopped herbs are scattered around the potato for decoration. There is also a small dollop of the same dark reddish sauce placed slightly away from the potato on the plate.
