About our Jacket Potato with Bacon, Spinach and Mushroom cream recipe

A delicious jacket potato topping of caramelised mushrooms and spinach coated in a delicious mustard and creme fraiche sauce, served with oven roasted tomatoes.

We love baked potatoes especially with the usual tuna or cheese and bean filling, but we decide to create our very own filling something a bit different. We decided to go for the traditional combo of mushrooms and spinach, we added a creamy sauce of creme fraiche and mustard and then added some crispy bacon to cut through the creamy sauce. We decided to add some delicious roasted cherry tomatoes to complete the dish
