→ Loaded Potatoes
13 -
Extra shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
14 -
Salt and black pepper, to taste
15 -
50 g green onions, chopped
16 -
115 g cheddar cheese, shredded
17 -
120 g sour cream
18 -
45 g unsalted butter
19 -
4 large russet potatoes
# Steps:
01 -
Cut up the loaf, grab your loaded potatoes, and pop them on a plate together. Throw some extra green onions or a bit of sour cream on top if you’re feeling fancy.
02 -
Slide the stuffed spuds back into the oven and leave them in until the cheese turns melty and bubbly—about 5 to 10 minutes.
03 -
Pile the cheesy mix back into each potato skin. Sprinkle on as much extra cheddar as you like.
04 -
Blend the scooped potato inside with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper first. When that’s nice and creamy, fold in the cheddar and green onions.
05 -
After they're cooked, slice the potatoes lengthwise and gently scoop out the inside, keeping the skins in one piece.
06 -
While your loaf is in the oven, give the potatoes a good wash and poke holes in them with a fork. Stick them on the oven rack and bake for 45 minutes or so, until they're soft. Wanna go faster? Heat them in the microwave for about 8–10 minutes instead.
07 -
Form the beef mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a pan or on a tray. Pop it in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the center hits 71°C. Take it out and let it chill for 10 minutes before you cut into it so it stays juicy.
08 -
Fire up your oven to 190°C. Toss together ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire, ketchup, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Stir until everything’s just mixed and spread out pretty evenly.
# Notes:
01 -
Try adding some grated zucchini or carrot to your meat mix to give it a richer taste.
02 -
Like a little heat? Stir in diced jalapeños or splash in hot sauce to the potato filling.
03 -
If you want to save time later, prep the loaf and potatoes ahead, stash ‘em in the fridge, and just bake when you need them.
