Ingredients for Loaded Baked Potato with Steak Bites:

– 4 large russet potatoes

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 1/4 cup green onions or chives, chopped
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions for Loaded Baked Potato with Steak Bites:

1. Bake the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and rub them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

2. Cook the steak bites: While the potatoes bake, season the steak bites with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from heat.

3. Prepare the potatoes: Slice each baked potato open and fluff the insides with a fork. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese into the potato, letting it melt slightly.

4. Load the toppings: Top each potato with the cooked steak bites, a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Pro Tip:
Drizzle garlic butter over the steak bites for extra flavor, or sprinkle smoked paprika on top for a smoky touch.
