Jacket potatoes with cottage cheese
Baked potatoes are liked not only by Poles, but also by the English. In England, a very popular dish is the so-called “jacket potatoes”, which are literally baked potatoes served with various toppings. The most popular are beans in tomato sauce, chili con carne, cottage cheese with cream or tuna with mayonnaise and cream.
