Tex-Mex Baked Potatoes With Chili image

I found this in an old cookbook, made some changes, and it's now the recipe I turn to when I feel like eating chili but don't want to use the slow cooker. You can use any other ground meat, but I like using lean ground turkey.

TEX-MEX STUFFED POTATOES



Tex-Mex Stuffed Potatoes image

Although you can serve this as a side dish, it's filling enough to make a main course. Small gatherings are good occasions for my stuffed potatoes-they're so easy to throw together. Our 10-acre farm outside Toronto is nowhere near to the Southwest, of course. I love Mexican food, though, and this makes a nice alternative to tacos. I like its zesty taste, too.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the potatoes: This will give them plenty of room to brown and crisp.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help them to brown and crisp quickly.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the potatoes with your favorite Tex-Mex spices: Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.
