Tips From My Kitchen
Choose the right potato variety: Floury potatoes like Maris Piper or King Edward break down into a fluffy, cloud-like texture when baked. Waxy potatoes, such as new potatoes or Charlotte, hold their shape too firmly and end up waxy rather than light. I tested this recipe five times, and floury spuds gave the best results every time.
Dry the skins thoroughly before oiling: Any moisture left on the skin will turn to steam in the oven, creating a soft, leathery texture instead of a crispy one. Pat them down with kitchen paper or a clean cloth before adding the oil.
Don’t wrap potatoes in foil: Foil traps steam, which steams the skin rather than roasting it. A bare potato on the rack allows hot air to circulate, giving you that irresistible, golden, crackling exterior. I only use foil if I’m reheating leftovers to prevent them from drying out.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan, combine the tinned tomatoes, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and smells fragrant. Stir in the shredded chicken and warm through for 2 minutes.
Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the steam inside to settle, so the flesh stays fluffy rather than turning dense. After resting, slice each potato open lengthways and gently squeeze the ends to fluff up the inside.
