→ 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
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut up the meatloaf and put it on plates next to the loaded potato halves. Pile on extra green onions or plop a spoonful of sour cream if you want.
02 -
Place your stuffed potato boats back into the oven. Let the cheddar on top melt and get bubbly, about 5 to 10 minutes.
03 -
Scoop the cheesy mash into your potato skins. Sprinkle more cheddar on each one.
04 -
Squash the inside of the potatoes up with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper. Throw in chopped green onions and grated cheddar, then mix it all together.
05 -
When the potatoes are cooked, split them lengthwise. Gently take out the middle and stick it in a bowl, leaving the shell strong enough to hold filling.
06 -
Clean the russet potatoes and poke them a few times with a fork. Bake right on the oven rack until soft, around 45 minutes. If you need it fast, a microwave will do in 8–10 minutes.
07 -
Form your beef mix into a loaf shape and lay it on a baking tray or put it in a loaf tin. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until it hits 71°C in the middle. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting—this keeps it juicy.
08 -
Flip on the oven, set it to 190°C. In a big bowl, toss in everything for the beefloaf: beef, onion, garlic, crumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all the stuff comes together.
# Notes:
01 -
For even more flavor, try shredding some carrot or zucchini into your loaf mix.
02 -
Looking for a little heat? Chop up some jalapeño or tip in a splash of hot sauce to your potato blend.
03 -
You can get the beef loaf and filled potatoes ready the night before. Just pop them in the fridge and bake when you're hungry.
