Steps:
- To make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Set the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, make the chili: Preheat a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and salt, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ancho chile, oregano, cumin, coriander, and cloves and cook, stirring, until dark and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and chipotle. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes while adding them to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the chipotle and tomato mixture is dark red, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and beer and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Lay the potatoes on the side they naturally roll to, and carefully cut a shallow oval out of the tops to make 6 lids. Gently scrape most of the potato pulp out of the lids and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve the lids. Carefully scoop out the insides from only 4 of the potatoes into the large bowl, leaving the shells intact. Scoop out the pulp from the remaining 2 potatoes into a small bowl and reserve for another use. (See Cook's Note.) Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, butter, salt, and scallion to the large bowl of pulp and mash lightly with a fork. Season with pepper, to taste. Lightly season the insides of the shells and lids with salt and pepper. Refill them with the potato mixture, pressing it into the bottom and against the sides.
- Set the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and fill each to the brim with some of the chili, mounding as much as you can on top (you'll need the rest for later). Mound the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over the potatoes. Place the potato lids skin-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until heated through and the cheese has melted and browned, about 12 minutes. Reheat the remaining chili. Transfer the stuffed potatoes to a serving platter and top each with a dollop of sour cream. Lean the potato lids against the sour cream and serve immediately, with the chili on the side for refills.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Place potatoes directly on oven rack. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet; cool 5 minutes.
- Halve each potato lengthwise. Scoop flesh from potatoes, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell; place flesh in large bowl. Add crumbled Roquefort cheese and sour cream to potato flesh; mash until smooth. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
- Spoon potato mixture into 8 potato shells, mounding slightly and dividing equally (reserve remaining 4 potato shells for another use). Place potatoes on baking sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over potatoes. Dot with butter. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake potatoes until heated through and beginning to brown on top, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle parsley over potatoes and serve.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Choose large, starchy potatoes like Russets or Idaho potatoes. These varieties hold their shape well and become fluffy and tender when baked.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This removes any dirt or debris from the skin and helps the potatoes cook evenly.
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork: This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: Insert a fork or skewer into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This makes them easier to handle and prevents them from breaking.
- Scoop out the potato flesh: Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.
- Mash the potato flesh: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potato flesh until smooth and fluffy.
- Add your desired fillings and seasonings: This could include butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, chives, or anything else you like.
- Stuff the potato shells: Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells.
- Top with additional cheese and/or breadcrumbs: This adds a crispy and flavorful topping.
- Bake the potatoes again: This melts the cheese and browns the breadcrumbs, creating a delicious and indulgent dish.
