Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
1 pound steak, cubed
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cheese, shredded
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes, then prick them with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
Step 2: While potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and cook until browned on all sides. Remove steak and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add shrimp and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the mushrooms become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4: Once the potatoes are done, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Top each potato generously with the cooked steak, shrimp, mushrooms, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 6: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra creaminess, mix some butter or cream cheese into the potato before adding toppings.
Swap out the steak for grilled chicken or bacon for a different protein twist.
Add a dash of smoked paprika or chili flakes to give the dish a bit of smoky heat.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the potatoes fluffy and toppings flavorful. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
Bake Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Cook Shrimp and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and mushrooms are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare Potatoes: Once the potatoes are baked and tender, carefully slice each potato open lengthwise. Fluff the inside using a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste for added flavor.
Assemble Loaded Potatoes: Top each fluffed potato with cooked steak, shrimp, and mushrooms. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top, followed by a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each loaded potato with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a hearty, comforting meal.
