Samantha Nicole Jackie Kennedy’s Baked Potatoes have a secret; they aren’t baked potatoes at all! Nope! These potatoes are actually slow-cooked, ensuring they are extra tender and guaranteed to be cooked all the way through (don’t you just hate it when a baked potato has that weird harder part in the center that just didn’t cook?). They’re perfect for piling high with… well, whatever suits your fancy! Jackie Kennedy’s Baked Potatoes are as stylish as their namesake and ready to impress!
