This will soon become your favourite way to cut your jacket potato

Move over roasties, say goodbye to your beloved Hasselback spuds and forget about making Dauphinoise potatoes. There's a new way to cut the humble <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/search/potato" target="_blank">potato</a> and it's in the form of a flower. Named the bloomin' baked potato, the creation is the new way to spice up your classic jacket. When you first prep it, it may not look like much but when you cook it, it opens up and 'blooms' just like a rose. It's soft, tasty and crunchy all at the same time and better yet, it's easier to make than it looks.<img alt="bloomin-baked-potato__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/bloomin-baked-potato_GL?scl=1">Simply follow our step-by-step guide to give your classic spud a dazzling makeover.Step oneSlice a thin layer lengthways off <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/baking-jacket-potatoes/asda-growers-selection-baking-potatoes/24932" target="_blank">baking potatoes</a> to give a flat top.<img alt="step_1" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/step_1_GL?scl=1" style="height: 375px; width: 500px;">Step two Leaving a 1cm border, cut an oval on the flat top with a small, sharp knife, &ndash; don&rsquo;t cut all the way through the potato.
