Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Bake: Place the stuffed potato skins on the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the beef is cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
Cool slightly before serving: After baking, let the skins cool on the sheet for a few minutes. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
Serve and enjoy: Transfer the potato skins to a serving platter and enjoy warm. They’re perfect as a side dish with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips for perfect cheesy potato skins with ground beef:
Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like russets for a fluffy mash that holds together well when you form the skins.
Customize fillings: Feel free to add extras like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or shredded zucchini to the beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.
Cheese options: While mozzarella or cheddar are great, you can experiment with other cheeses like Gruyere, provolone, or a blend of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
Prep ahead: You can make these skins ahead of time up until the baking step. Just cover and refrigerate, then bake when you’re ready to serve.
