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.

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!

SHEPHERD'S PIE POTATO SKINS RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Shepherd's Pie Potato Skins Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-28504

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced (white or yellow)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (pea, corn, carrots or fresh)
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef stock or broth or 1 bouillon cube dissolved in hot water
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Black pepper, to taste
4 large potatoes, scrubbed clean
3/4 cup milk, full or low fat
2 tablespoon butter, optional but highly recommended
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prick the potatoes with a fork (about 6 times on each potato) and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Then turn and microwave for a further 5 minutes. Pierce with a knife to check if they are cooked. Remove from microwave (use a dish cloth or hot pad). Cut off the tops and scoop out the center using a spoon, leaving a fairly thin skin (about 0.5 cm / 0.2"). Place the potato scooped out in a bowl. Add milk, butter and salt and mash with a potato masher until smooth, or to your liking. If you want to pipe the filling, place the mashed potato into a piping back with a large star tip nozzle. Filling: Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Turn up heat to high. Add mince beef (ground beef) and cook, breaking up the mince as you go, until nicely browned and cooked, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over flour and stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to simmer and continue to stir until the sauce is thick and glossy, around 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Assemble potatoes: Fill each potato with the potato mixture so it is slightly heaped. Push down lightly to pack the filling in well. Pipe over the mashed potato, or scoop it on with a spoon then fluff it up with a fork. You probably won't use all of it - save the remainder or serve it on the side. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the mashed potato is starting to brown on the ridges. Serve immediately!

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.
