Categories     Dinner

Time 1h18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup heavy cream, warm
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 garlics, minced
1 lb ground beef, or ground lamb
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup beef stock
1 can carrot, drained
1 can peas, drained

Steps:

  • Set one rack at the top and one rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Poke a few times on each side with a fork, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Bake the potatoes on the center rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
  • While potatoes are cooking, make the beef filling: Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
  • Push the onion mixture to the edges of the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the center of the pan and break up with a spatula. Let the meat brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper and stir to incorporate.
  • When the beef is mostly cooked through but still slightly pink, add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine, continuing to break up the beef with the spatula.
  • Add the beef stock, carrots, and peas. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, plus more to taste. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Being careful not to tear the skin, scoop out most of the flesh and transfer to a large bowl. Set the potato skins aside.
  • Add the melted butter, heavy cream, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the pepper to the bowl with the potato flesh. With an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to high and mix until potatoes are light and fluffy. Add the cheddar cheese and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
  • Scoop about ¼ cup (60 G) of the beef filling into each potato skin. Top with about ¼ cup of the mashed potatoes. Spread the potatoes over the beef filling so it's almost entirely covered. Using a fork, create ridges in the potatoes by dragging the fork from top to bottom.
  • Bake the potatoes on the center rack for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese in the potatoes starts melt and you hear sizzling coming from the potatoes when you open the oven door.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to ensure they do not burn.
  • Top the potatoes with the chives and serve warm
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed

Steps:

  • Pierce the potatoes with a fork in a few spots. Put on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until tender, 14 to 16 minutes.

Add the beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the beef broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots and warm through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the broiler. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork; top each potato half with 1/2 tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet. Divide the meat mixture among the potato halves, then top with the cheese. Broil until melted, about 2 minutes.

SHEPHERD'S PIE POTATO BOWLS



Shepherd's Pie Potato Bowls image

Don't be fooled. These aren't ordinary twice-baked potatoes: beneath the golden mashed potato top is a rich beef and vegetable filling. And unlike your casserole dish, the potato bowls are also edible.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large russet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter plus 1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 small carrot, chopped
12 ounces ground beef chuck
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and brush them with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Put on a microwave-safe plate and microwave, flipping halfway, until fork tender, about 20 minutes. (Alternately, bake in the oven at 400 degrees F on a baking sheet until cooked through and fork tender, about 1 hour.) Let cool slightly.
  • Cut a 1/4-inch-thick slice off the top of each potato. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with the milk, sour cream, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon salt using a fork or potato masher. Fold in the chives. Put the potato bowls on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire, tomato paste, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water and bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and cook until the beef and carrots are coated in sauce with a little extra sitting on the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the peas until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into the potato bowls. Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture and bake until heated through and the potatoes brown on top, about 15 minutes. Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into 4 slices and top each potato with one.

Provided by Jazz6581

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
1/4-1/2 cup whole milk
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
8 ounces ground beef
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen vegetables

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate and cook another 5 minutes. Test with a knife to make sure they're done.
  • Cut the tops off the potatoes and scoop the insides into a bowl, leaving a ¼-inch wall around the skin.
  • Add the milk, butter and salt to the bowl of potato and mash until smooth. If you'll be piping the potatoes, place them into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and reserve for later.
  • In a sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to combine. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and frozen veggies to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and become glossy. Remove from the heat.
  • Fill each potato evenly with the beef mixture. Pipe the mashed potatoes over the filling, covering the meat mixture completely. (You might not have to use all of the potatoes.).
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops of the potatoes start to brown.
  • In step 2, you don't have to microwave the potatoes if you don't want to- just bake them instead! Rub olive oil, salt and pepper all over the cleaned potatoes. Place potatoes directly on an oven rack and bake at 425 degree Fahrenheit for 40 to 50 minutes until done.
