Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cooked chicken or pulled pork
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and dry them with a kitchen towel. Poke each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are baking, mix the cooked chicken or pulled pork with the BBQ sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes or until safe to handle.
Slice each potato lengthwise down the center and gently open them up, fluffing the inside with a fork.
Spoon the BBQ chicken or pork mixture evenly into each potato, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Yummy BBQ Baked Potatoes!
