Scale
- 8 russet potatoes
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 oz pulled pork
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- green onions (optional)
- BBQ seasoning (optional)
- BBQ sauce (optional)
- sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes well.
- Pierce potatoes several times with a fork, lightly oil the exterior of the potatoes and lightly salt the outside.
- Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in a 425-degree oven.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are fork-tender, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly so you can handle them.
- Slice potatoes in half length-wise and scoop out the center, leaving approximately 1/3 inch of the outer potato.
- Bush the insides of the potato with melted butter and return to the oven at 475 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until the interior is browned.
- While the potatoes are browning, heat the pulled pork.
- Remove from oven and top with BBQ seasoning (or salt and pepper), shredded cheese, and heated pulled pork.
- Return to oven for 5 minutes.
- Top with BBQ sauce, green onions, and sour cream if desired.
Notes
- I shred my cheese fresh with my food processor. Freshly shredded cheese is 100% better than packaged shredded cheese.
