What you'll need:
This recipe, if you are a fan of jacket potatoes and carbonara, is going to get you all hot under the collar. What could be more delicious than a crispy, fluffy, steaming jacky p absolutely slathered in carbonara sauce? Probably nothing.
Method
Turn up the oven to 180°C.
Stab the the potatoes all over and rub them with olive oil and salt.
Roast them until the skins are crisp and the insides are fluffy. Leave to cool and cut into quarters, leaving them stuck together at the base.
Fry the pancetta in a saucepan until crisp. Set aside, with rendered fat.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and cream along with the parmesan and seasoning together.
Heat in a saucepan over a low heat until it thickens into a smooth, rich sauce.
Pour the sauce over the potatoes and garnish with the fried pancetta and more parmesan.
