Jackfruit Jacket Potatoes

Fries, potato chips, hash-browns, baked potatoes and mashed potatoes...the list goes on! There's almost nothing the humble potato can't do.

So, it makes sense that someone thought to create International Potato Day, celebrated on August 19.

Potatoes were first cultivated by man in Southern Peru and the Northwest regions of Bolivia sometime between 5000 and 8000 BC. From that point forward, it has spread all over the globe to become one of the primary staple crops of many cultures.

The versatile potato is a great source of Vitamin C, Potassium (more than a banana!), Vitamin B6 and Manganese, and rich in compounds like flavonoids, carotenoids and phenolic acids.

These compounds act as antioxidants in the body by neutralising potentially harmful molecules known as free radicals.

In the spirit of International Potato Day (the best day of the year in our opinion), we teamed up with Healthy Luxe to create these mouthwatering Jacket Potatoes, stuffed with our Tender Jack Smokey BBQ.

They're the perfect hearty meal for cold winter nights – best enjoyed huddled around the fire.
