Problem will lie with variety of spud, you really need spud with thick skin like King Eddy,these washed white baking spuds are crap at crisping up coz skin is thin.
No idea about the variety of potatoes. They come in the organic veg box covered in thick muck and I bake the massive ones. Will try baking higher temp and for longer.What type of potato first, then what size of potato, then how much oil are you using?
Then how long are you baking for? You can get a thermometer for inside your oven just to see if the temp is actually right. It should take 1 to 1.5 hours to get the crispy skin

Does anyone have any tips for getting the skin on a jacket potato crispy? I usually rub the potatoes in oil and salt before baking but they never come out with that crispy brown paper texture.
I hope it didn't come across like I bake them covered in muckWash them off, but make sure you dry them really well. Need to be bone dry. Done use too much oil

Toastie sarnie maker who still uses them?

I still dig ours out occasionally. I say ours, it's my wife's from when she went to uni.My wife made me get rid of mine... Sure, I hadn't used it in twenty years, but it was part of my university days... I still cry nightly thinking about my toastie maker...
Tbf it was the person from Brighton who advised washing them.Sounds like something people in Mansfield would do.
I've tried just microwaving them but they come out wrinkled and with bits that are still raw. May try micro and then ovenI never use oil. I microwave them before putting it in the oven to crisp them up. Works every time, easy and quicker.

Sandwich toasters.
So theres the teflon bag you can put your sandwich in the regular toaster.
Theres a george foreman grill which can replicate the effect of the grill.
Theres your grill in the oven.
I dont see the point in a sandwich toaster. It's the type of excess that's have gretta thunberg watching you through your window.
Micro for 5 mins for each spud then blast in oven for at least half hour on highest.

Okay, who the **** are you really then...![]()
