Baked Potatoes are called Jacket Potatoes in the UK and when topped with chili these are hearty enough to be the main meal. Start with a salad and a crisp vinaigrette.
Build your own for one or a crowd, with a Chili Potato Bar and offer up southwestern flavours to the usual bacon and chive condiments.
Depending the crowd, we serve Chili Con Carne or Turkey Chili, both work equally well.
