Parental Sauce on a Jacket Potato recipe 🧨 Why You Should Make It
Because a hot jacket potato deserves more than just butter. This creamy, tangy, smoky sauce was made to be ladled over spuds. It’s the “parental figure” of potato toppings: comforting, bold, and a bit spicy when necessary.

Optional Additions:
