To jazz up jacket potatoes, bake them whole until they are cooked all the way through. Meantime, fry onion until caramellised. When the potatoes are cooked, cut them in half length ways and scoop out the inside leaving a 'boat'. Mash the potato with butter and grated cheese and stir in the cooked onion. Fill the boats with the mash. Sprinkle more grated cheese on top and return to the oven for 15 minutes or so.
I would happily eat these as a main meal. You could also add tuna or crispy bacon if you need a protein fix, or your family members can only consider a main meal one that contains meat (ie my husband and nephews).
My younger daughter who loves all things potato, didn't like these however, as they had been "messed about with".
