Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 russet potatoes washed and dried
  • 1 lb cooked steak shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite melting cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • crispy bacon bits optional
  • fresh sliced jalapeños optional
  • drizzle of hot sauce optional
  • chopped parsley optional garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet (optional)
  • Knife
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Rub with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and poke holes with a fork.
  2. Place potatoes on a rack or baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes until crisp outside and soft inside.
  3. While potatoes bake, shred or dice the cooked steak. Warm gently in a pan or microwave and season if needed.
  4. Slice baked potatoes lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Add a pat of butter to each potato.
  5. Stuff the potatoes with warm shredded steak. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
  6. Return the potatoes to the oven or broiler for 3–5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Top with sour cream, green onions, and any optional toppings like bacon bits, jalapeños, or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

You can substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor. These can be assembled ahead of time and reheated before serving. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
