Make restaurant-style steak loaded potato skins at home. These hearty appetizers feature crispy potato skins filled with seasoned steak, melted cheese, and classic toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces sirloin steak, cooked and diced small
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them several times with a fork.
  2. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the insides are tender.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool until you can handle them safely. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the inside potato flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell. Place the shells on a baking sheet.
  5. Brush the inside and outside of the potato shells lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the shells with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake the empty shells for 10 minutes to crisp them up.
  7. Divide the diced cooked steak evenly among the potato skins.
  8. Top the steak with the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, if using.
  9. Return the skins to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven. Top each skin with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives before serving.

Notes

  • For the best steak texture, cook your steak quickly (like a quick sear) and dice it small before loading the skins.
  • If you want extra crispy skins, lightly spray the shells with cooking spray before the second bake.
  • You can substitute leftover cooked steak for this recipe.
