Method
Preparing the Potatoes
- 1
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean under running water. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Cool and Scoop
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain the potato's shape. Place the scooped potato flesh in a mixing bowl.
Making the Cajun Filling
- 3
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, draining excess fat if necessary.
