Ingredients:

6 potatoes

1200g

1 tbsp olive oil

14g

1 cup mushrooms

230g

2 garlic cloves

18 oz ground pork

510g

2 cups pasta sauce

460g

2 tbsp fresh parsley

10g

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Prick each potato several times with a fork.

3. Bake Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until they're tender when pierced with a fork.

4. Cook Mushrooms: While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and slightly browned.

5. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.

6. Cook Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

7. Simmer Ragu: Pour in the pasta sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.

8. Finish with Parsley: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season the ragu with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Serve Potatoes: Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently press the ends to open them slightly.

10. Assemble Dish: Spoon a generous amount of the pork and mushroom ragu into each baked potato.

11. Garnish with Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top of each stuffed potato.

12. Serve: Serve the jacket potatoes hot, garnished with an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Choose large, evenly-sized potatoes to ensure they bake uniformly.

- For a crispy potato skin, rub the potatoes with a bit of olive oil and salt before baking.

- Sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and start to brown for the best flavor.

- Cook the pork until it is browned and slightly crispy for added texture.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and parsley to suit your taste preferences.

- Serve the dish with a side salad for a complete meal.

- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
