With Jumbo Meat Smoked Potat Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the jumbo potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork. This will allow steam to escape during cooking.

2. 2

   Bake the Potatoes

   Place the pierced potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

3. 3

   Cook the Beef Mixture

   While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Ground Beef

   Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.

5. 5

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh to create a space for the beef mixture.

6. 6

   Fill the Potatoes

   Spoon the cooked beef mixture into each potato half. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and place them back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your jumbo meat smoked potato!
