This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a casual get-together, providing a wholesome balance of flavors and textures that are sure to please any palate. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a kitchen novice, this recipe is straightforward and rewarding. Let's get started!
Instructions:
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Use a fork to prick the potatoes a few times all over. This helps steam to escape while they're cooking and prevents them from bursting.
- Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, or on a baking sheet, and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The exact baking time will depend on the size of the potatoes.
- Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor.
- Core the apple and cut it into thin slices or small matchsticks. Optionally, you can peel the apple if you prefer.
- Thinly slice the scallions (both the white and green parts) into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced apple, chopped scallions, and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the yogurt dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
- Generously top each potato with a portion of the apple coleslaw.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chopped scallions, a sprinkle of extra walnuts, or a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve immediately while the potatoes are warm and enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
Tips:
- Choose potatoes of uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- For extra crispy potato skins, rub a little olive oil and salt on the potatoes before baking.
- Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative for a vegan version.
- Grate the apple just before mixing to prevent it from browning.
- Toast the walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor and crunch.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apple coleslaw for an extra zesty kick.
Congratulations, you've just made a delicious jacket potato with apple coleslaw!
