Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup seasoned ground beef or chicken
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Pierce them several times with a fork.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool slightly.
  4. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell.
  5. Brush the inside and outside of the potato skins with olive oil.
  6. Arrange the potato skins on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven. Fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese and seasoned meat.
  9. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Top with salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any leftover cooked meat for the filling.
  • Add your favorite nacho toppings like jalapeños, black olives, or diced tomatoes.
  • Make sure the potato shells are dry before baking for maximum crispiness.
