Ingredients

  • 3 medium Russet potatoes scrubbed clean and dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pulled pork
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño pepper sliced
  • fresh cilantro & green onions snipped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce the potato 2-3 times with a fork. Rub oil all over the potatoes, then rub with salt. 
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on how large the potatoes are. The potato should be fork tender.
  • Lower the oven to 350ºF. In a small bow, mix together the pulled pork and bbq sauce.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise (without cutting through to the bottom. You want it to partially open and hold all of the filling.).
  • Sprinkle some of each cheese over the potato, then add a scoop of pulled pork. Sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese.
  • Place the potatoes back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the pork is heated through and the cheese is melted.
  • Top with a dollop of sour cream, chopped bacon, sliced jalapeños and fresh snipped cilantro & green onions.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the air fryer to crisp the potato up.
  • Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
