Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, for seasoning
- 1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Butter, for serving (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Bake the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook the corned beef mixture: While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the shredded corned beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the baked potatoes: Once the potatoes are done, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Add a pat of butter, if desired. Spoon the corned beef mixture generously over each potato.
- Add toppings: Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt over the warm corned beef. Add a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh chives.
These Corned Beef Baked Potatoes are a comforting, flavorful meal that’s perfect for a satisfying dinner any night of the week!
