Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked BBQ beef (shredded)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash potatoes and poke holes in them with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving enough flesh in the skins.
- Add BBQ beef, cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and barbecue sauce to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into potato skins generously and top with more cheddar if desired. Place on a baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
